I just wanted to let you know that I have been using these patches with
Emacs for a few days, and things have been working fine so far :)  I
haven’t tested all the updated packages, though.

Out of curiosity, what are the differences between v2 and v1 of the
series?  It would be nice to include a cover letter for v2 to give an
overview of the changes since v1.

Thanks for working on this!
