The direction has been set and I'm following it. These things are now
off the roadmap entirely regardless, or at least I won't pursue them
until the things needing to be done now are addressed.

Say, we could use a number of helpers with the quantitative measurement
effort, Is there any chance you could help out here as well? It'd
certainly help get the cost/benefit analysis of rmap going for the
merge, and maybe even pinpoint things needing to be addressed.
