I am one hundred percent prepared to turn them down, if they end up
contorting the design in a way that we will have to undo (with
consequent backwards-compatibility problems) to get to the full feature.
If it's a partial implementation of the full feature, that's fine, but
I'm not getting good vibes about that from the discussions so far.
