Understood -- thank you for the direct answer.

My mistake was misreading the subsystem's direction.  I had read the
earlier list discussions and concluded that the red line was touching
hugetlb's reservation semantics, so I designed the whole series to
keep them intact -- user-driven only, no LRU, no reclaim hooks.  I
see now that the actual position is a feature freeze: not "new
features are welcome if reservations stay sacred", but no new
features at all.

Going forward I will stick to work that reduces hugetlb's divergence
from generic code rather than adding to it, and I will float ideas
on the list before putting serious effort into anything big.

Thanks,
