Yeah, good plan.

It's up to you, but I don't think you need to close it. You could call
all of your patches "groundwork" for getting to 4881, or open a new bug
for the correctness (i.e. fixing the tracebacks) and then any refactors
are mostly groundwork for the end goal of settings support for the base
driver.

But, your call as you're doing the work. I just granted you permissions
to monkey with the issues, so you can close/create/link as you see fit.

Thanks!
