Christoph, you've made it plenty clear how much you dislike closures in the past
but "I don't like it" is not remotely the kind of objection that is appropriate
or useful for technical discussions, and that's pretty much all you've ever
given.

If you really think that code should be gotten rid of, then maybe you should
actually _look at what they do that's not covered by other kernel
infrastructure_ and figure out something better. Otherwise... no one else seems
to care all that much about closures, and you're not actually giving any
technical feedback, so I'm not sure what you expect.
