I definitely agree with Nicolas here. Ludovic's set of patches have
been around for months and months, and both Atmel and Armadeus need
this feature. It would be great if we could make progress on this.
Additional improvements can be done later (even though I'm personally
not sure we want to depend on quilt).

Best regards,
