I notice that 4/6 (and no other patch) is not signed-off and wonder if there is a reason (e.g. you are not so comfortable with the idea behind the step or the implementation) or a simple oversight?

It seems that the dependency of this series is not just 'master' plus 'ps/connectivity-optim' but some more stuff from 'next'. I expact that topics that have been cooking in 'next' during the previous cycle will graduate to 'master' early next week, so perhaps it is easier to handle this kind of "depends on some stuff in 'next'" topics after that happens.

Thanks.
