I don't have any present plans for that. Maybe when the interface starts to evolve at a slower pace, or if it is shown to be significantly faster. Not that interface stabilization here doesn't mean a freeze; it means that backwards compatibility starts when this gets merged. -- Do not meddle in the internals of kernels, for they are subtle and quick to panic. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
