I wanted to ask what the current state regarding this patchset is. Is
there anything I should still take care of?
I am a bit worried about it going stale if it stays lying around for too
long and new call-sites get introduced. So far everything is still fine
though, I just applied the patchset to v2021.04-rc3 and ran a worldbuild
- I do not see any builds regressing.
