Sorry about that.

The problem in this particular case is that the design has changed so
much since the first iteration that we're not really talking about
incremental refinements but rather a different approach to the same
problem.

If you want me to build on top of the series in next anyways, would it
be acceptable if the first patch on top of ee306d2d59 reverts the
previous attempt? I think the rest of the series will be easier to
review that way.
