It is always nice to have such commit as a summary what was done in the
series, and to have up to date roadmap.

Admittedly, this part could have been sent in a separate patch at the
start of the series, but it doesn't matter at all; no need for extra
work.

All right.

All right, this is about the change done in previous series.

All right; actually it was done by augmenting 'gc' instead.
