Also it would make sense to make this just a bit more digestible to a
wider group of maintainers, i.e. a better introduction to the topic
instead of huge list of references (no bandwidth to read them all).

This is exactly kind of patch set that makes you ignore it unless
you are pro-active exactly in this domain.

I think this could bring more actually useful feedback.
