Comments
PUBLIC COMMENTS For completeness, I should point out that the fix for 6991377 eliminated the need for the join_blocks() method.

EVALUATION Even though we'll ultimately get rid of the G1-specific BOT, we should also get rid of any code that's not used. So I'll make this simple change as part of 7007068.

EVALUATION Never mind; this should never have been filed because it would be fixed by the already open 6910247. I am closing this as a dup of 6910247, and sorry for the noise.
