No worries at all! Probably a misunderstanding on my side too.

I am more than happy to spit it into quite a few patches, and it will
also help with the C-d-b's.

As for reviewing -- since we keep adding abstractions and new features
to show how things may work, we would be chasing new reviews all the
time. Would it be better to drop some of those for the moment and get
the "core" in first?

That way we can merge each subsystem part by part later, send it to
the proper MLs as smaller patches, get maintainers on board, etc.
etc., and it would be more manageable for everyone.

Cheers,
Miguel
