It's definitely not wasted. I have a patch series massaging the pathname resolution sitting in the local tree and once I'm done with the misc stuff (tonight, hopefully) it'll be time for that one. I was going to ask you to post once I get to that, since it clearly needs to be integrated. So if you have the patch series against the current mainline, please post it and I'll deal with that.
