Thanks. Up until the 3.10 split I was tracking main from a development
branch in my fork, and trying — lately pretty much unsuccessfully — to
drink from the firehose of changes to the virtual machine code. It
made sense to me to keep my fork's main up-to-date with upstream/main.
Now that I have diverged to follow the 3.10 branch for now, that's
less of an issue.
