I'm sure there will be patches for 4.0.7. I'll handle master ->
core-updates merge conflicts when I commit those patches to master.

It would be nice to remove the grafts soon, but it's over the 1200
rebuild limit for staging:

But, I'll put it on staging if there is a consensus. I guess that
staging will end up requiring more than 1200 rebuilds anyways, since
there could be multiple changes with that much impact, but affecting
different parts of the package graph.
