This is an RFC patchset, so there's no chance that it'll actually be
applied as-is, and hence there's no need for the strong hammer nack.
The point of "request for comments" is comments. Specifically here,
I'm searching for information on the ins and outs of *why* it might be
hard to change. How does userspace use this? Why must this 64-bit
number be unchanged? Why did you do things this way originally? Etc.
If you could provide a bit of background, we might be able to shake
out a solution somewhere in there.
Thanks,
Jason
