+1 to all of this.

I've kind of started collecting changes which Eli vetoed, but that
wasn't as much a conscious decision as it was "let's push this".  I need
to stop and think about what I want done with those.

Ah.  I wasn't sure whether your message was supposed to get more of a
reaction from Eli than it did.  I agree, in any case, that it would be
best for Someone Else to help solve this (but I'm not sure what to do if
that fails to happen).
