Please note Robert's patches are not trivial and the potential impact is qu=
ite high. We'll keep you update We are working on reviewing them and will s=
end update on our progress.

These potential changes come up very late into the 16.04 cycle. Given their=
 nature, once they get merged, one RC cycle is required by the validation t=
eam to fully test them, so I want to make sure I flag this to you as early =
as possible.
