No, that's backwards. I have every expectation that the specific set
of checks will be extended and improved in future. But changing the
framework, if we don't bother to get that right to start with, will be
much less pleasant.

Not that having useful checks is not an important part of the patch, of
course. But it's not what everyone has been focusing on, and I do not
believe that we were mistaken to be more worried about the framework.
