Nice post!

Just one suggestion. While reading, I felt that it would've been

The text above could've had a link somewhere to the patch you sent
to the mailing list:

... and the above text could've had a link to Shourya's patch
series you mention:

Good initiative. It indeed might turn out to be very helpful.
I won't surprised if it even turns out to help you, sometime in the
future ;-)

I could totally feel you here. Things would get better over time.

Hope this helps,
