Great the idea can simplify the code.
So I'm very glad I can provide some help on RST.

Although one concern is about the compatibility, but I guess since rst
is still covered under experimental flags for progs, we can more or less
ignore the compatibility for now?

The other concern is, how would those patches be merged, would David
just fold them, and we can check the misc-next, or there would be
another branch for us to view the code?

Thanks,
Qu
