Ok new versions have reversed the order so we can take:

https://review.openstack.org/#/c/121663/4

before:

https://review.openstack.org/#/c/119521/10

I still strongly recommend that we take the second so we at least have
the possibility of backporting the other two patches. And I also wouldn’t
complain if we just took all 4 :)
