Whoops I manually changed the coverletter subject to reflect that this
in on mm-hotfixes-unstable but never updated the others...

Hopefully that is ok. Just a small mistake. Base commit is referenced here.

It's not ok, this isn't suitable for a hotfix in any way shape or form?

As you know, because we told you :) May has been difficult because of
conferences, holidays (and in my case burnout recovery).

And unfortunately the series seems to have needed quite a bit of review again
(my suggestion to you would be to ensure you don't make major changes, only
small incremental ones on the basis of review feedback).

So this isn't viable for 7.2, and we'll have to target 7.3. Therefore there
was no rush.

Also please don't spring a respin on this series on us without discussion
first, with people away and (frankly) the amount of work involved here,
you're going to have to accept the pace that workload/availability permits.

Adding spurious hotfixes tags doesn't help anything :) please don't do that
again.

Hi,

Sorry for the confusion but Andrew and I spoke about this before I
sent it, and he confirmed that I should send it against this tree to
prevent merge conflicts.

Because Zi's series depends on this, and this is already in the mm
tree, choosing a candidate before my commits was best to prevent merge
conflicts.

The intent wasn't that this is a hotfix, just that this was the
closest base before the v17 that is already in the tree.

Sorry for the confusion, hopefully Andrew can still apply it to the
correct tree.
