My last comment in that thread was to make it correct for both 3.3 and 3.4.
That hasn't been done.

It is really much better to send the independent patches separately.  That
way the parts without problems get applied instead of waiting for the rest
to be fixed.  I've said this before.

Please don't post just references to mailing list archives and expect me to
take patches from there.  Those are munged and I'm not going to deal with
that.  Just repost them.
