Please just refactor the code in question. You've wasted more time 
arguing about it than it would take to do. Having done a bit of PCI 
refactoring, I can tell you hardly anyone else does. I can barely even 
get comments/acks on refactoring until I break platforms (which happens 
a lot). Maintainers have no other leverage other than what Marc pointed 
out.

In any case, I think there's no way the PCI maintainers will take this 
as-is at this point.
