 RELEASE NON-SHOWSTOPPERS BUT WOULD BE REAL NICE TO WRAP THESE UP:
 
+    * Filter stacks and subrequests, redirects and fast redirects.
+      There's at least one PR that suffers from the current unclean behaviour
+      (which lets the server send garbage): PR 17629
+      nd says: Every subrequest should get its own filter stack with the
+               subreq_core filter as bottom-most. That filter does two things:
+                 - swallow EOS buckets
+                 - redirect the data stream to the upper request's (rr->main)
+                   filter chain directly after the subrequest's starting
+                   point.
+               Once we have a clean solution, we can try to optimize
+               it, so that the server won't be slow down too much.
