The two above changes have been merged, thanks Paladox !

Luca.

*WARNING*: If you are using any Gerrit plugins with persistent caches, you *may not* want to upgrade to v3.12.1 because of a newly discovered issue. I've documented it at [1].

We're now discussing a possible solution and will release v3.12.2 with a fix.

Luca.
