Thanks! I have now processed the ones for which I found guidance.
As for the remaining ones:

So what to do about this? Wait whether he revises the patch?
Accept anyway? Update the patch myself?

So what do you propose to do? AFAICT, there is no definition of
SEGMENT_SIZE in a TCP implementation, and I think we should not try
to make up a value.

IMO, Python should expose sockets more or less "as-is". If the system
has a flaw, Python should expose it instead of working around it.

> [ 1062014 ] fix for 764437 AF_UNIX socket special linux socket names

Can you please elaborate the problem? What is a "special linux socket
name"?

Regardless, the comment of the other reviewer is also valid: any patch
needs documentation and test cases.

Martin
