In theory, yes.

However, this touches multiple subsystems, and it's non-critical, so I don't
want to spent the energy to get this done in a synchronized way.
It's way easier to postpone the last (RFC) patches when everything else
has been applied by subsystem maintainers.

So please apply your part, thanks!

In personal conversations with technical people, I call myself a hacker. But
when I'm talking to journalists I just say "programmer" or something like that.
