Now I would _love_ if somebody else dug into the topic enough to
understand all of the ins and outs, and whether what they're doing is

been battle-tested for many years on GitHub's servers, so even if we
just take them as-is I hope it would be an improvement.
Sorry; it wasn't my intention to ask accelerating the topic
forward---it was just to see the current status to adjust my
expectations. And you could have stopped at the end of this
paragraph but ...

procrastinate on, so let me see if that can summon the willpower for me
to review these.
... I'd love to see us benefit from this ;-)
