I still believe that this is an important user-visible improvement.

However, there has been conflicting feedback on the necessary planner
changes leading to doing double work in order to figure the best way
forward.

Dmitry and Andy are doing a good job on keeping the patches current, but
maybe there needs to be a firm decision from a committer on what the
planner changes should look like before these patches can move forward.

So, is RfC the best state for that ?
