While that is true, for folks who are working to deploy systems that
may have 23+ year life times, getting this resolved in the near term
is important.  With so many changes all over the kernel (and then
userspace) pushing back on this "plenty of time" sentiment is
important for this to ever get done.

So yea, if you can't look at it right this second, that's fine, but
please don't put it at the bottom of your todo list for the year. :)
