I wish there was a stronger tag that would credit your efforts! ...

I'm also thinking about waiting a bit before applying anything even
borderline intrusive to the perf core, to make sure there's enough
fuzz time to declare stable state (at least as far into the ABI as the
fuzzing is able to reach). Future bisection efforts could use that
kind of known-stable release.
