I looked over the first 7, and noticed two of the patches are flipped in
roder (I sent a separate reply in the thread, but I wanted to catch your
attention, since I guess this may be on the list for integrating today).

I didn't see any problems in the code of the 8th one, but I didn't spend
a lot of brain power thinking about the overall design. I feel like that
was hashed out pretty well in the early discussions, though.
