So, what is the problem?  We are moving towards what we think is the
way forward.  Nobody said that it is the theoretical best, but it's
_much_ better than doing nothing, no?

Then whom are we to ask about this feasibility?  All the core
contributors (including Junio) are in the CC.  Nobody has said
anything.  So, are you proposing that we sit and ponder over our
theoretically-indeterminate-feasibility problem?  There is no magic
bullet, Jeff.  We write code, and we fix bugs as and when they crop
up; there's really not much else anyone can do.  Help by writing code,
or reviewing someone else's code.
