None of these changes are easy to integrate because they fail to explain in detailed notes why they are correct. We take the conservative approach not to apply complete solutions. Someone seeing this problem has to take the position to champion the broader solution as positioned by Szabolcs from Arm. Alternatively someone needs to explain why the partial solution is better than no solution and champion that on libc-alpha.
