Please go ahead with the upload and remove the moreinfo tag when the
upload is ready to be unblocked.

For future reference: Please avoid generic code-style
rewrite/refactoring during freezes (and instead deploy it after the
freeze).  In the particular instance, it was manageable to review but
most of the was "noise" due to that refactoring - this in turn increases
the risk that the proposal is rejected.

Thanks,
