This is still no.

Okay, but it's a little frustrating for me to go in circles here :-/

I didn't originally do it this way; I originally looked at pinning the context when opening the stream so I didn't have to consider it being relocated. The feedback from Daniel Vetter was to look at doing it this way I think because of some concern to do with some shrinker corner cases.

... just dug up the archive:

Can you maybe please explain what's wrong with the current approach and provide some justification for a different approach with some reassurance that Daniel's original concern with the shrinker unpinning contexts isn't actually a problem? I don't currently understand the concern with this, and this approach seems to have been working well for quite a long time now.
