And that requires a review from my side, which I've not been able to do
yet...

It seems there's a number of dependencies that the code depends on,
and trying to push to remove an interface which is used on to-be-merged
code which is being _actively_ worked on to bring it to merge standard
is just stupid - that's a recipe for forcing folk into a corner where
they'll never have everything merged that they need for their particular
set of code.

The alternative is that the code which uses it could be merged as is,
albiet without the dependents, so effectively it couldn't be built.
But then it'll satisfy Andi's grep that there are users in the tree.
