Sure, if that's what you want. Is it okay to put up an RFA after I've
switched over just blocks, or do you want me to wait until after I've
switched over global symbols as well?

Obviously my attempt to make patches smaller by introducing temporary
interfaces wasn't a smashing success. Ah well; I'll know better next
