Comment:

 I 100% agree with nickm...

 A while back, when I was working on KIST with pastly, we realized that
 much of the cmux subsystem is quite complex and could be simplify
 drastically. I even did Dia diagram to try to make sense of it all and
 came up with a design to address the complexities.

 So there is an argument to be made to try to revive all my notes in a
 Ticket and address the overall issue instead of patching things here and
 there.

 We have no sponsor or roadmap slots for this afaict but if it is out
 there, great volunteers like neel can go at it :). I'll try to find an
 evening soon and sum up it all up in a ticket. In the meantime, I
 recommend we keep that ticket on hold until we decide if overhauling is
 what should be done or if we should merge this as a temporary band aid
 before bigger work.
