Unfortunately, I didn't get to these three. In the meantime, I'd expect you to try merging these three into 'seen' once it gets published today, and invite others who have topics not in 'next' but in 'seen' to also do so. By doing so, you'd see what interactions, if any, are expected with the other topics in-flight. I'd hope them to be minimal---the old ab/unexpected-object-type had only one "yes, that might be nice standalone if you are not working together with other people, but we didn't have to make this change and we would have saved having to do an evil merge to resolve this conflict if we didn't"---as the old topic is tenatively ejected, the evil merge is gone for now from 'seen', which is good ;-).

Anyway, without these three, but with the few topics that depends on updated test-lib-updates topioc, the integration of the topics in 'seen' for today's cycle has been smooth. The test-lib-updates still had the same few niggles in its early parts I pointed out in an earlier round, though. Among the topics from you, I'd think that one would be the highest priority, simply because many other topics are taken hostage to it. It matters to me a lot, as I'd be the one who ends up having to remember what depends on what else, and having to rebase them on top of each other. The sooner that topic solidifies, the better for other topics that depend on it.

Thanks.
