It sounds reasonable to add S1G support.

But I don't think this process would work for that.. Without having a
full set of patches that add at least some kind of minimal testable
functionality, it would be difficult to review whether some of the
earlier patches would be the best way of designing the mechanism. I
don't think I would be applying small patches that do not achieve
anything without knowing the direction the end result is expected to
take. I would also not want to spend significant effort to review items
without being able to count on there being a complete contribution in
the end.
