Thank you Zack for your previous reviews, thank you for this reminder, and
thank you for saying that you can't review any more so I know I must ask
others.

True. [1]  Thank you again for replying.

Carlos, what kind of update do you mean?  Indeed, I am concerned about
some documentation issues, mainly the changelog and commit messages.
I will write more in the proper thread.  But I'm not aware of anything
else which needs to be updated.

Finally, thank you for adding a link.

Actually, the most up-to-date version is in my github fork [2] because it
is the easiest way to keep the patches updated but it is not the official
way to submit them to glibc.
