There are 39 patches in rawhide. of which some could be upstreamed. I
did a cursory look through and there are a few that have upstream bug
reports too, so I'll just need to ppost them again. I don't know for

off the radar later.

... and 2000-2999 that were posted upstream and not merged yet.
There's 8 of those.
