But that's only for edge, right? I don't really see any level support.

Can you please trim this series to what you actually (1) need, (2)
support. So far, this series feels like a bunch of half-baked ideas.
Interesting ideas, but still half baked. And trying to rush me into
ACKing its of it is not improving the situation.
