I'm +1 on that idea for a completely independent reason: 05c8482f7f
is currently the easy winner for "scariest patch of the v14 cycle".
I don't have any faith in it, and so I'm very concerned that it went
in so late in the dev cycle.  It'd be better to push some successor
design early in the v15 cycle, when we'll have more time to catch
problems.
