Ok - now that the technology has almost launched, I guess we will see
more interest. I guess we can resubmit it, but we need to think
carefully about how the API should look like. This part isn't trivial at
all since the ecosystem isn't well defined (to say the least). So I am
kinda afraid that we will define something that will not suit our needs
when the userspace will begin to have clearer requirements.
I won't stand in the way if you want to revive this patch series though.
