Good job! Great to see work another milestone being reached.

Curious (no own opinion), any plans to also restore the branches? Or do you 
consider that legacy info which can be lost?

I would be okay with non-Monday here as well, after all this is moving a 
product at end of dep chain around, not breaking any APIs :)

Current scratch repo does not build due to buildsystem not yet adapted to now 
missing or renamed subdirs it seems.

Is the patch needed to make it build somewhere available, so I can give some 
build feedback on the state?

At least there was double use in heating, good timing with doing it in Winter 
(or some kind of) :)

Thanks for collecting the surgery info, that's spirit to copy from!
