I know that it's convenient to have this in the upstream release as it 
would remove the need to backport that feature every time. Said this, I 
still don't like the idea dragging this stuff into the upstream code as 
upstream would be responsible for supporting that from the time it went in.

I am willing to give in on this if somebody else thinks that it would be 
beneficial, but right now I'm not convinced that we want this upstream.
