There is a lot going on in this thread, and while I'm still playing
catch-up from LSS-EU and some time off (ish) it looks like most of the
most important points have already been made, which is great.
However, I did want to comment quickly on the statement above.

We want to be very careful about using an existing upstream LSM as a
reason for blocking the inclusion of a new LSM upstream.  We obviously
want to reject obvious duplicates and proposals that are sufficiently
"close" (with "close" deliberately left ambiguous here), but we don't
want to stifle new ideas simply because an existing LSM claims to "do
it all".  We've recently been trying to document this, with the latest
draft viewable here:
