I think this completely ruins the rest of the series. We should first
get the model for security done (including documentation). I would even
send v21 with just that update because this series does not even apply
to the mainline.

I would request an update to the series with just the change to the
security model. Also the very first should be dropped as it is
completely unrelated cosmetic fix.
