I understand, but this seems *extremely* conservative.  As I said, the 
patches have been available for almost two years, they're not that 
complicated, and they do work.  And after all, we're not talking about the 
kernel here.  It's just a user-space program to compute and try some 
hashes against a provided list.  What's the big risk in case there's a 
bug?  And it wouldn't even be a bug in an existing feature-- it would be a 
new feature, experimental if you like.

Thanks, this would be very helpful.
Andrew.
