The proposed patch queue is just a throw-away branch that I use for the purpose of (1) not to lose patches from people, (2) to ack patches from others, and (3) let people know which ones are under consideration.

Either a patch on top of the pu branch, or a brand new patch on top of the master branch would work fine for me. If you feel some stuff that are in pu need to be fixed or cleaned up, you may want choose the latter --- that way, software archaeologists do not need to know that you made a mess in earlier rounds ;-). If you choose to do so, I would appreciate a warning to tell me which existing patches to drop from pu, although that would probably be pretty clear from the context.

Thanks.
