Er, it was quite a bit more than half an hour; about 17 hours in fact:

In any case this patch was just a working-out of ideas I'd proposed more
than a month previously, so I didn't expect it to be controversial.
But as Bruce says, nothing is set in stone at this point. If you have
suggestions for improvements, we can tweak the hooks pretty much any
time up till 8.3 final.
