Well, we will have a channel width API, I think; several people
have expresed an interest in doing so.

Your summary is useful, and I really don't have any qualms about
keeping the non-standard stuff as long as someone has plans to
write the code to support it.  I personally have no interest
in using those features, but of course I only speak for me.

If we do remove turbo code for now, we can leave the initvals, as
they are such a pain to verify.  But I'm not sure half a page of
text is worth the churn.
