We haven't decided anything on that yet and I don't think there is any reason to
block this series for that. There is lots of existing code that needs to be
updated if we decide to walk that path and I wouldn't mind a small addition to
that from this series.

Lots of effort Coding/testing/reviewing has already gone into this work and we
better get it merged now.
