Another issue of WIP Wednesday -- last week saw a massive number of PRs merged. I haven't done the archives work to verify it, but I wouldn't be surprised if the 103 merged PRs was a new record. One huge one, and many many small ones.

This week's WIP Wednesday leads with the first Toponaming merge (there are going to be a LOT of those...), but there is other stuff happening as well...
