This series of two patches has been sitting on the mailing list for a
long time. The feedback of Jérémy was not very positive (i.e quite
negative) and you said yourself on this patch "I had finally a couple
of time to double-check that and I agree with Jeremy that I was wrong
therefore let's reject this patch as it turned out as an unthought
idea.", but then you said you were mistaken, Jeremy asked for
clarifications which were never given.

So at this point, I'm going to mark those two patches as Rejected.
However, if you believe there is still something to improve, do not
hesitate to reopen the discussion.

Thanks a lot!

Thomas
