Hi:

I would suggest you can provide a cover letter including a complete
picture that tells the background, detailed problem statement, the
solutions and plus the users. As this seems very like a generic change,
it needs a better justification to convince folks why this is the best
solution. Without a complete picture, the solution just looks like a
workaround.

Thanks,
Zhi.
