I wouldn't apologize for there being so many patches ... it makes it
easier to review.

In fact, I'd have gone further - there are a number of changes which go
beyond simple code re-factoring into real bugfix territory. I'd have
like to see those changes as separate patches, allowing them to be
reviewed carefully and then just glance over the re-factoring patches.

Yep, it's much nicer now
