Oh, I remember this patch.

Eric, your feedback has been unusably-by-me enigmatic :(

In fact the whole multi-month review discussion has been quite
indecisive.

Yan, please go back through the discussion and incorporate reviewer

have raised and your responses to those. Then resend and then let us
restart the review process. With less reviewer latency please!
