I realized that the best way to get more testing was to merge it, so
here goes.  :-)

Hopefully it=E2=80=99ll make our lives brighter.  The worst that can happen=
 is
for things to become slower.  This may be the case when you stumble upon
narinfos not yet cached by nginx on hydra.gnu.org.  Fortunately, as the
number of users tends to infinity, the probability of querying a
non-cached narinfo tends to zero.

Feedback and bug reports welcome!
