So how do you wanna handle this?

I guess the easiest would be if you apply your patch directly now and
add the a.out phase-out strategy we're going for in its commit message
so that people are aware of what we're doing.

Yup, I'll just do that. I'll fix up my patch to be more complete (ie
the a.out-core.h removal Jann pointed out).

I'll talk about removing a.out support entirely in the commit message.
I'd be ok for that to be a total removal, but maybe there are some
architectures that still have that as a "main" format?

Or I could just apply your patch after removing the core-dumping. Comments?
