Nothing improved, there is no such code in the bindings.

Nothing improved here either.

What do the guidelines speak about this? Don't do this, don't add the
consumers. Drop.

The binding did not improve, so I am not doing full review. Please go
through writing bindings or tutorials/presentations explaining this, so
we won't need to repeat same comments.
