    By and large, I like the series, particularly patches 7 and 8. I cannot
    make up my mind about the RFC patches 9 and 10 yet. Conceptually they
    seem sound but they are much more far reaching than the rest of the
    series.

    It would be nice if patches 1-8 could be treated in isolation with data
    on the number of extfrag events triggered, time spent in compaction and
    the success rate. Patches 9 and 10 are tricy enough that they would need
    data per patch where as patches 1-8 should be ok with data gathered for
    the whole series.
