Hello Andrew/Michal,

Will this be going in subsequent -rcs?

I thought were awaiting a new version? "Will send out a separate patch
on top of this one"?

Sorry for confusion. I sent out an incremental patch converting counters to atomics.

I do think a resend would be useful, please. Ensure the changelog is
updated to capture the above info and any other worthy issues which
arose during review.

Will do that.

Regards,
Arun
