Dave and Vlad had asked in the first review for considering using rhashtable (ok, Dave didn't mention it by name). We did, and it seemed nice beside 1 issue Xin found, regarding multiple rehashing, which I'll highlight in a reply right away. Said all this, I know this was your second email already against this usage, but I have to ask, sorry: still really against it?
