I'll mostly ignore swap-related stuff because (a) -EBUSY and (b) we have quite
some swap experts around :)

Reading below, I do wonder if the swap subsystem needs some more coordination
and collaboration?

For example, maybe having bi-weekly/monthly meetings to get everybody aligned
and uptodate could be something reasonable?

This approach has proven fairly helpful in areas where (1) multiple companies
are involved (2) many concurrent development is happening, and (3) people have
different priorities and requirements.

Is there already something like that to organize development? Should we get
started with that?
