Yes, and Adhemerval put it there on purpose to continue the discussion
between glibc developers and kernel developers. Florian Weimer and I have
both provided input to that talk, so if something comes out of the talk
and you want to talk more, please just reach out.

I hope that kernel developers interested in this topic will attend
and discuss the various ways forward on certain interesting topics :-)
