Hi Lars and Philipp,

Could you please make sure that this patch and the other one I sent make
it into 4.21/5.0? I am not sure when you were planning on sending the
pull request to Jens that you mentioned in the other thread but I've
noticed most maintainers typically send their requests for the impending
merge window around -rc7 or so and I wanted to make sure it was on your
radar.

Thank you,
Nathan
