FWIW, 0003 looks like a low-risk improvement seen from here, so I'd be
OK to use it at least for now on HEAD before seeing where the other
discussions lead. 0004 would be OK if applied to v11, as well, but I
also agree that it is not a big deal to let this branch be as it is
now at this stage if you feel strongly this way.
