Hi Gabriele,

thanks for the encouragment! Yes I continue working on this RFC and use
it to check for my related early irq cleanup series. I will use your doc

I will wait for further input and liekly post a v2 in a week or two.

Any broad strategic direction for me and my LLM are always welcome.

Regards,
Karl
