I submitted this clearly marked WIP, so I expected that it would likely
be pushed to 9.2.
However, I don't feel like I have the kind of feedback that will help me
get it committed next commitfest. I did get some review, and that was
helpful, but it was mostly on isolated details.
The patch is a million little decisions: names, catalog structure,
interface, representation, general usability, grammar, functionality,
etc. Without some checkpoint, the chances that everyone agrees with all
of these decisions at the beginning of the next commitfest is zero.
Is the commitfest not the right place to do this? If not, then when?
