I moved to the list because off-list discussions (that I got involuntarily
CCed into and never replied to at all) tend to be unhelpful as no one else
can share in any context they may provide. And I'm not trying to rush
you; I'm trying to make review easier. While looking at the v8 again I
saw an obvious problem with it, so I commented on it so that it's clear
to you that it'll need work when you do get around to the review.

As far as the CONFIG topic, I think we're talking past each other (it IS
figuring out the correct value, but it looks like you don't want it even
to be a choice at all), but we can discuss that more when this series
bubbles up your list.
