I think that's probably the wisest course of action. I need some time to
ponder the options for this series anyway, and another cycle in next
wouldn't hurt.
The branch itself looks fine, but you might want to reverse the order of
the patches in case someone lands there in the middle of a bisect. IOW,
I think you want to revert the "convert to multigrain" patches before
you revert the infrastructure.
