One important note here - what I'm posting is a work in progress, it's
by no means set in stone. So when you find missing items like this, feel
free to fix them up and send a patch. I will then fold in that patch. Or
if you don't feel comfortable fixing it up, let me know, and I'll fix it
up next time I touch it.

That's perfectly fine, I prefer knowing earlier rather than later. But
do also remember that it's fine to send a patch to fix those things up,
you don't have to wait for me.
