Ah, I forgot to say, if you think it is easier to manage the main set of patches for the topic to eject as much preparatory changes as possible, I do not at all mind treating this as one of the preparatory step and queue it separately, making the main series depend on it. I just wanted to say that it is not necessary, even though it does not hurt.
