I have gotten rid of most of it now in V2.

I wasn't *only* concerned about the fast-switch case, but the case of
normal governors that we use today. After all that's what everybody is
using right now.

And I feel (Maybe you as well), that we are better off using a single
optimized path for all cases. Otherwise things start getting too messy
too soon.

Platforms are already broken for this, and so wouldn't be possible to
check for existing governors.

We should really be handling a single order to avoid complications in
it :)

Sure. Lets see how bad is V2.
