I think that this one is ready to go. Since Elijah and Peff last reviewed it, it hasn't changed substantially (other than a few bugfix-related changes that were discovered while rolling this out at GitHub).

The series has been running on GitHub's production infrastructure for the last month or two without issue, so I think this is good from a stability perspective.

I've CC'd Elijah and Peff here, since they were the last two to review the series, but I don't think that they have any objections to this moving along.

Thanks, Taylor
