I was talking about kha/experimental~0 here; you're talking about
kha/safe~0, which is kha/experimental~1. But never mind.

I'm using it too, but I always build my own git, so I never know what
version the system comes with ... but I see your point. I'll put that
patch back in kha/experimental for now.

I guess in this case we could, since if the option exists, we can use
it. (The second patch is not so lucky; the flag exists since quite a
while, but lacks a feature in older gits.)
Since it's just a moderate speed-up in both cases, I'm kind of
inclined to just wait for relevant distributions to catch up, and
avoid all the hassle.
