Comment(by nickm):

 > Is the next step (post sponsorf year2 deadline) to polish up the patch?

 Polish up or rewrite or revise, depending on how far we decide the patch
 is from the "right" thing for the codebase.

 > I feel like the patch makes the issue look more complex than it needs to
 be. But the issue looks too complex for me to be sure. ;)

 Sadly, the patch's problem was _also_ that it didn't cover enough cases.
 We should probably reread through all the design discussions that led to
 the current patch/design status again, to see whether we might have
 overlooked that would let us do the right thing, simply.
