Right, >1MB will be moderated, as will emails that are CC'd to multiple
lists, and somehow this email thread ended up with two different

Better would be to break the patch down into reasonable and independent
pieces for review and commit on separate threads as suggested previously

going to actually fully review and commit them. That's just not likely
to end up working well anyway.
