I tried to distinguish them via the prefix of the subject line, so that 
you could ignore anything that starts with "pnfsblock:" if you wanted to 
only look at pnfs changes.  However, I admit they are ordered more for my 
convienence than a reviewers.  Would it suffice to reorder them such that 
all nfs, then pnfs, then pnfsblock were in succession?
