I think it probably would be okay in most cases but don't feel
confident about acking as it's making trade-offs which are unnecessary
and unusual.  So, ummm, I really don't know.  Maybe it's better enough
than what we have now but at the same time if you want to reimplement
the whole thing you should be persistent / reliable enough to see it
through this time around too, right?

Thanks.
