+1. This was done per explicit request in the first thread.

Yep, this is a bit inconvenient. Personally I didn't expect that
merging patches in this thread would take that long. They are in
"Ready for Committer" state for a long time now and there are no known
issues with them other than unit tests for SLRU [1] should be merged
first.
I suggest we use "git link" for the larger patchset in the other
thread since I'm not contributing to it right now and all in all that
thread is waiting for this one. For this thread we continue using
patches since several people contribute to them.
