I find it a bit surprising that such huge changes that can affect security
and robustness are performed in one patch. Personally, I cannot comprehend
all of these changes. In addition, I think that it is valuable to describe
in detail the bugs that the patch solves and when they were introduced.

I can bring up some concerns regarding inconsistencies in offset checks and
size, not spilling SCALAR and my wish not to limit packet size. However,
when the patch is that big, I think it is useless.
