This is a good suggestion. I will work on it. By now my series comprises 28 patches. If you plan to review the rest of the series and you don't have major objections, could I work on these updates as increments from my v8 series? I think that with 28 patches in the series is becoming difficult to review.
Thanks and BR, Ricardo
