Would be nice to discuss "how shall we merge this cross-subsystem
patch series" first, hmm?

The reason I didn't take patch 1 originally is because it was submitted
to me without any users, and the general principle is not to accept
patches without users. Too many times, I've merged code where there's
been a "promise" that it will be used, only to have the author go
silent and users never come along. So now, my rule is... any code that
adds something must also come with its user.
