I think any updates to the last step would need to build on top of the clean-up series. You might be able to add new tests and update docs in such a way that is independent from the clean-up and then worry about possible merge conflicts later, but with the clean-up series being in reasonably good shape already, I'd expect that the bigger clean-up series can be polished enough before we work on polishing the last step. So perhaps we just focus first on the clean-up series, have them graduate to 'master', and then build the new feature on top, perhaps?
