Yes, but those acks assume that the overall approach is a good idea.
The biggest issue that I have with the approach is that it is invasive
and modifies basic structure for an inherently kludgy solution for a
quite niche problem.  The benefit / cost ratio still seems quite off
to me - we're making a lot of general changes to serve something very
specialized, which might not even stay relevant for long time.

Thanks.
