No, changing that wasn't what I meant to suggest. My point here is that
we'd dropped a number of big mushy discussions into the queue with the
idea that they'd be re-opened during commit fest, but new discussion
did not happen to any useful extent. Conclusion: don't bother putting
anything less concrete than a patch on the fest queue.
