Hello!

Thanks for working on this update!  Crazy that it turned out to be this
difficult.

In general I=E2=80=99d be in favor of not doing that, unless the fixes are
important (build issue, security issue, etc.), as was the case when we
packaged 2.26; and, if there are important fixes, I=E2=80=99d rather extract
them from the whole patch stream, and skip unrelated changes.

For example, I=E2=80=99m sure we can live without the locale updates that s=
how
up in this patch set.  :-)

Do you know which of these patches are really needed?

Thoughts?
