OK, the first step to drop jc/pull-training-wheel from 'next' has been done. I _think_ the one that starts at $gmane/234295 is the newer incarnation of the patches in this thread, but that seems to do a lot more than what the patches in this thread did, and it also badly interacts with another topic in flight that updates git-pull, so I have a topic branch for it but haven't merged to 'pu' yet.
