I don't mind if the tool gets in first, it won't hurt anyway as:
- no changes are expected if people do not use the new -k option
- if they do, the gained latency will just be 0 (which is a use case of
  the tool: measuring whether or not RWW works/is supported).

The only thing is: if the series does not get in for any reason, we'll
have to revert it.

Either ways, I'm fine with it.

Thanks,
