Yeah, obviously the plan is to get it merged, and there's some effort
toward that, with the amount of review that seem to slow down, so I
guess it's closer to its merge than to its first submission.

If it doesn't fit, don't hesitate to mention your concern on the
thread. What you're trying to do should definitely be covered by that
framework.
