OK, so what do you want me to do with this "heavily modified version"? Earlier you responded:

    I agree. However, it does not fill me with confidence that we did not
    catch those two bugs earlier. Even one round of reviews (including a
    partial rewrite) was better than all that time since the regressions
    were introduced.

So do we want to follow the regular "a few days in 'pu' in case somebody finds 'oops this trivial change is needed', a week or two in 'next' for simmering as everybody else, and finally down to 'master'" schedule?
