IMHO this is totally different thing. It's not about proposing a new
feature yet so far, it's about how we should fix a breakage first.
And that's why I think we should fix it even in the simple way first, then
we consider anything more benefitial from perf side without breaking
anything, which should be on top of that.
Thanks,
As I said, once the quick hack is merged people stop caring.
Mixing different kernel versions in migration is esoteric enough for
this not to matter to most people. There's no rush I think, address
it properly.
