The fact that the patch has been around for years doesn't automatically
mean it's a bad idea.

I have proposed that we discuss this patch at fosdem developer's meeting
next month, precisely to seek consensus on whether this patch is
something we want or not.  My view is that this is a feature that has
been requested by users for years, so IMO we want this or something
similar.

I wonder if the reason that committers stay away from it is that
reviewing it fully (and thus taking responsibility for it) seems such a
daunting task.  I might be wrong, but I think this may be the largest
patch since FTS.
