So, having gone through the rest of the thread (so far), and having
given a fair amount o thinking to this, I really think that something
like this would be a good thing to have in Linux.
Of course, it's not that my opinion on where should be in Linux counts

skeptic at the beginning, I now think this is (part of) the way to go,
as I said and explained in my reply to George.

Dario
