I would like to suggest a compromise: retaining an experimental patch which allows this socket option and can be used for people interested in experimenting with these ideas, to gain new insights; and to leave the main kernel API as simple as it can possibly be made.
That is exactly what my patch is. The socket option is not required so much of the debate is pointless! You could argue over the correct default for a socket but my patch doesn't alter that. After seeing all the discussion I would still like the patch in.
