Thanks.

So these two are fine.

I approve of cleanups of course.  But:

Which of these cleanups were posted before the LPD ?  I'm not
currently aware of any reason for a freeze exception here, so I think
those patches which didn't meet the LPD should wait.  Ones which *did*
meet the LPD should be considered on their merits.

If you could direct me to which those are I would be happy to review
them.

> 07: gunzip: drop INIT{,DATA} and STATIC

I release-nacked this because I saw you posted it with this Subject
  Subject: [PATCH v3 01/15] gunzip: drop INIT{,DATA} and STATIC
which made me think you were targeting it for 4.15.  If not then fine.

Thanks,
Ian.
