Great!

I'm running bulk builds, and the latest one just finished:

   https://us-central.manta.mnx.io/pkgsrc/public/reports/upstream-bulktest/20221023.1802/meta/report.html

I can't find any failures in there that are due to my changes, so I 
think I've now covered all of the issues that I was aware of, however 
I'd still love extra testing of this, just because it's such a large 
number of changes to critical parts of the infrastructure, and I can't 
rule out edge-cases that change behaviour and now no longer work.

I'll also let it sit in my release branches for a bit, with the aim of 
getting it in with plenty of time for additional widespread testing 
prior to the 2022Q4 freeze.

Cheers,
