the commit was reverted exactly because of lack of design and
communication before a stable release, until such time when a concrete
proposal can be formalised for discussion.

now, can we *please*, for the love of everything's that good and pure
in this Universe, close this thread? it's pointless going around in
circles: you want something to discuss, and the interested parties
don't have anything for you to discuss yet. wait at least until
there's *something*.
