I'm definitely open to moving it somewhere else if that helps, though
the location doesn't matter much, TBH, and it is the boundary of the

current design is solely written with AT in mind.

The current state of the branch is at [1], which I plan to send once
-rc1 is out. Note that this isn't a stable branch, so things can
change without any warning!

Of course!
