Yeah, it is still on my rader. I think these four extra patches build on tb/repack-write-midx, and I was waiting for the base topic to stabilize (it had an "oops, this thing leaks" sent only a few days before the add-on 4-patch series was sent, IIRC).

I think the base topic has been in 'next' for about a week, so it probably is a good time to pick it up. Thanks for pinging.
