This was when I came back from being five weeks out, left with > 10k unread
mails. This was known and I even offered a separate communication channel to
reach out should something come up that requires my attention.

However, only two days later I did catch your subsequent series, replied [1] and
mentioned everything I mentioned in this thread as well.

I understand that this is frustrating, but I wouldn't say it was for nothing.

You previously mentioned that you are relatively new to Rust; glancing at the
code I can imaginge that you learned a lot from working on this, which I think
is pretty valuable as well.

Also, we can pick up this code at any time should someone find a valid use-case
for this feature.
