Yeah, it sure isn't. We (FB) had to go through a couple iterations and it's
looking like we need another adjustment, so I fully agree that these are
painful but at the same time I don't think it's difficult to see that how
piling up workarounds in the lowest layer is not the right thing to do. The
workarounds you guys need would be different from what we or others would
need. The kernel can't be maintained in any sustainable manner if we keep
piling on disjoint workarounds on it. Please consider long term trajectory
when proposing interface changes which often boils down to identifying the
core features which must be supported by the interface.

Thanks.
