Indeed, it's ancient and nobody remembers any of that anymore. If
someone wants to carry it forward and repost, we can take another look.
I wasn't personally convinced about it, and I'm always worried about big
patchsets like that being dump-and-runs - once you've achieved the
company goal of getting it upstream, motivation to maintain it and work
on it often goes away pretty quickly. And then we're left with the pile
of code.
