That last sentence isn't very clear. What I intended to imply is:

The first stage is done and all its changes are in the branch, the
second stage I haven't yet started.

The set of revision in the “r411–r424” patch bundle is all intended to
be non-semantic changes, and once they're accepted I'll begin on the
second, semantic-changing, stage of work.
