I definitely look forward to the -jumbo option and other improvements.  And
I really appreciate your desire to do this The Right Way.

However, please don't let the perfect be the enemy of the good on this
one.  A simple bump to jumbo-6 or jumbo-7 would have benefited many people
over the past year and a half.  Doing such a bump now should be fast, and
does not preclude making the deeper improvements later.  Please consider a
quick commit now.

But either way, good luck with the harder work!

Royce
