This generally looks more solid.

But this amounts to a significant overhaul of the code.

At this point how about we revert 7f466032dc9e5a61217f22ea34b2df932786bbfc
for this release, and then re-apply a corrected version
for the next one?


If possible, consider we've actually disabled the feature. How about just queued those patches for next release?

Thanks
