Btw., I think we should do the TUI interface _before_ we can merge the
kernel changes. Frankly, 'not very user friendly' means that it's not used
(and tested) much - which begs the question: why merge the feature at all?
Making a new kernel feature usable to as many people as possible must be a
primary concern, not an afterthought.
Thanks,
Ingo
