That definitely makes sense to me. Reviews and discussions can take a
long time to settle so this method looks right to me. It is better not
spend too much time on a patch if you unsure of its shape, and much
better to ask for input first before diving more into the details. This
stuff is really complicated and the devil is in the details.
