    I agree, I've had this very conversation with Kent as well. The merge of
    it has gone a lot worse than I had feared, and the resulting series at
    this point is a non-bisectable mess. The fallback plan was to pull it
    from the 3.13 tree and shove it into a 3.14 tree with more for-next
    simmering.

    It is in progress, just takes a while...
