Also the candidate selection precedence change impacts ordering. TBH, I 
liked the v4 order better because it really tried to preserve the left 
edge for large blocks better but there were just so many corner cases with 
it so v5 now uses the largest contiguous size before the largest natural 
size. I might revisit this at some point but getting these regressions 
addressed in mainline is more important than perfection and my 
preferences.

Thanks for testing.

All looks promising, sashiko came up nothing interesting. It took 
quite long to get to that point but I think the overall feel I've the 
series feels much more polished now than what v4 was.
