There's no consensus whatsoever on using that. It's just a new, interesting idea at this point, and it's incredibly experimental. Some folks are playing around with it right now, but until they've ironed it out, there's not much point in discussing whether we should add it to Phobos IMHO. It's also something that we can add on top of the current exception scheme at a later date, so we don't have to do anything with it now. We'll have to give it more bake time before we make any decisions about it. And I believe that the main proponents of it agree with that assessment. - Jonathan M Davis
