Yes, that's exactly what I've had in mind. There's an initial
sub-sequence that should be pushable (with some further tasks noted in
feedback that I should capture in BZs). Then, for the rest, now that
we've all seen the full scope, I plan to advance in baby steps;
effectively splitting the series for v4 into multiple small waves.

This is a frequent problem with a long tail of dependencies. Initially,
one is reluctant to post any "prelude" patches because there's no
evidence yet that the larger series is going *anywhere*. There must be
*some* path first that fully connects the start with the end. But, once
that path exists, and the scope is agreed upon, we can iterate in
smaller sprints.

Thanks!
Laszlo
