But, ok, it is not the real point to argue so much imho and waste our
time instead of doing things.

well, IMHO better talk (and think) first, then implement
something ... not the other way round, and then start
fixing up the mess ...

Well we need a bit of both.

This is thankfully not exported to user space, so as long as our
implementation is correct it doesn't much matter.

I do agree with the point that context may make sense.  I have
yet to be convinced though.
