After the rest of your series, using blitter for the few isolated cases
would be the only thing preventing us from removing BLT ring support
altogether. So I think moving over to meta is well justified - it
doesn't sound smart to maintain blitter support just for optimizing
(unknown?) corner cases. And if significant enough case happens to
emerge, we most likely can implement that using blorp.
