Ah, sorry about that. On the positive side, I have definitely increased how often and how much I am trimming. I just don't always remember still.
Yes, I've been somewhat avoiding this patch simply because I'm not yet sure what I think of all this yet, and since it affects the kernel-userspace API it needs some careful thought. In other words, yes, I see this patch and the associated GH issue, but no I don't have any real comments yet. Sorry.
FWIW, this patch alone doesn't truly change the userspace API (aside from making it possible to add new initial SIDs in the future without errors, which in fact is just restoring to the behavior we had originally). It just removes things that are never used and lays the groundwork for future evolution.
