Thanks for calling out a call for comments here.

I appreciate all of the comments on these series. It has really improved the feature.

I'm interested to hear who still has this on their list to review or if there are some remaining unresolved issues.

I sent my "RFC v3" [1] for the background portion of maintenance, and hope to send a non-RFC version next week if there are no more radical shifts in the strategy. Please take a look if you are interested.
