This is very impressive work, thank you!

I'm not comfortable pulling in all of this on 'core-updates' right now.
There are already a huge pile of changes that have not really
"stabilized" yet.  So my preference is to wait until the next round
(probably around October/November).

However some of these changes look really innocuous to me.  I'll review
those that are OK for this 'core-updates' separately.  Maybe we can work
around the remaining ones in the mean time?
