That does not look very usable to users. So why should we merge 
this new ABI in its incomplete form with no complete usecase? 
Being usable is clearly not outside the scope of a new feature 
...

Integrating it into perf report should not be *that* hard, 
you've done most of the hard work already. But without that step 
we just don't know how complete and usable the whole thing is.

Thanks,
