Uh well, i'd be happier if such review comments would have been made
earlier in the CommitFest.
If i understand you correctly we have the choice between
a) revert this patch, fix all remaining issues which will likely postpone
this for 8.5
b) don't revert, but try to fix the issues currently existing in HEAD.
It seems you're unsure wether b) is an option at all, because the amount of
remaining work exceeds the time left for this release cycle?
To be honest: I'm disappointed. If it tooks only a few steps to identify
those (obviously important) issues, i get the opinion that there's very few
motivating interest in this functionality (And yes, i'm annoyed about
myself to not consider those operator issues).
