I think we need to accept that we've missed the boat for 5.2 now I'm
afraid. While I'm fine with the API design, it feels contrary to our
norms to only push the API and not the implementation. We've seen
some destablization of build from the preparatory patches, so we
shouldn't push our luck by adding more at the last minute. Even if it
merges, it won't be actually usable so there's no reason to rush this
from an upstream POV.

Regards,
Daniel
