Thanks for the rb!

On the topic of CI, is it possible to write a test (maybe one already
exists) for this issue? I've attempted to do one here:

https://patchwork.freedesktop.org/patch/256319/

The problem is finding a surefire way to trigger the sequence, I'm not
sure how that can be done. If you have any ideas, I would love to hear them.
