No, not good work.

You both know very well that I'm working on this area also and these
commits are not agreed... yet. They might not be contended but they are
very likely to break my patch, again.

Please desist while we resolve which are the good ideas and which are
not. We won't know that if you keep breaking other people's patches in a
stream of commits that prevent anybody completing other options.
