It's a fairly trivial patch. I took a quick look at it. It needs
more than that, but I think not too much more. I think it would be
less effort for someone to review it and make a decision than it would
be to keep it as an open item for the next 6 months. But that's just
MHO: if the consensus is to postpone it, then let's just do that and
move on.
