I agree and I do my best to return patches that have stalled, but I
don't think this patch is in that category. It has gotten review and
has been kept up to date. I don't think it's a good fit for v11 but I'd
like to see it in the first CF for v12.

There's no question that bloat has become a problem. I don't have all
the answers, but vigilance by the CFMs is certainly a good start.
