Sigh.

First off, thanks for making the changes, I think the end result of
1/3+2/3 is better than the v1 patch.

However, this really didn't need to be two patches, please combine 1/3
and 2/3 and resubmit.  I know I've done the patch squashing for you in
the past, but I think it's time to start pushing some of this work
back to you.

Moving forward, if I provide feedback and do not explicitly suggest
creating a new patch, please incorporate the changes into the existing
patches.
