Please note Robert's patches are not trivial and the potential impact is quite high. We'll keep you update We are working on reviewing them and will send update on our progress. These potential changes come up very late into the 16.04 cycle. Given their nature, once they get merged, one RC cycle is required by the validation team to fully test them, so I want to make sure I flag this to you as early as possible.
