I share your pain, but there are various things about this patch that
make me uncomfortable. I believe we are looking for an improved design
not just a different design.
I think the best time to commit such a patch is at the beginning of a
new cycle, so people have a chance to pick out pieces they don't like
and incrementally propose changes.
So I am going to mark this MovedToNextCF, barring objections from
committers willing to make it happen in this release.
