Yes, I also dream of having the time to play with packv4. If you read my comments in the commit-annotation thread, you'll see that I stated that packv4 would solve the problem, too. The reason I did this series was not to push commit notes, but to make good for stalling Johan's efforts. Including a proof that the commit notes as I introduced them can be relatively cheap, too.
