I am not :)

As I repeated, the priorities seem wrong to me. There are many pending
work items that don't involve any ABI changes, and IMO, we should
focus on them before we even start discussing ABI changes.

I've been quiet  because I don't think opinion based discussions are
essential to nailing down ABIs. As I suggested, I prefer a Kconfig
option as the first step so that people can play with it. After we
have collected field data, then we'd be better at coming up with
suitable ABIs.
