Certainly. A new experimental feature is shipped in 2.2 timeframe, so that people can gain experience with it and come up with the best practice in their hooks, and then laster we may fold the best practice into somewhere deeper in the system. We are still in the early "ship an experimental feature to let people play with it" stage. It is not "no one stepped in to implement until now", but more like "no one designed what to implement". And we still do not have a concrete design on what to implement on the table. "At various points in the codebase, interpret-trailers is invoked with some magic parameters, depending on settings of unspecified set of configuration variables" is not a design. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
