BTW - something that could help me track the status of a patch series like this one is if there was a GDB PR with a target milestone of 8.1. That way, I don't have to track email messages by subject or reference ID across multiple months; something we know the email archives are not helping with. Instead, I just wait for the PR to move to fixed. Would that be possible? Thanks! -- Joel
