I don't think it's going to be all that complicated, but we're going
to have to wait until we have something closer to a final patch before
we can really evaluate that. I am honestly a little puzzled about why
you think complexity is such a big issue for this patch in particular.
I feel we do probably several hundred things every release cycle that
are more complicated than this, so it doesn't seem like this is
particularly extraordinary or needs a lot of extra scrutiny. I do
think there is some risk that there are messy cases we can't handle
cleanly, but if that becomes an issue then I'll abandon the effort
until a solution can be found. I'm not trying to relentlessly drive
something through that is a bad idea on principle.
I agree with all Stephen's comments, too.
