One comment, one question.

The commit doesn't cherry pick cleanly from upstream, so the "cherry
picked from ..." line should read "backported from ..." instead. I'll
fix that, just keep it in mind next time.

You used a different email in your s-o-b line. Was that intentional? If
not I can change it to this address.

Thanks,
Seth
