 > I suspect that question is partially addressed to me, as it may relate
 with #11115?

 Yup. And to detect potential conflicts with the ongoing changes in rings
 and such.

 > I didn't look at the patch. But if you mean to make .zero() and .one() a
 cached method of the parent class of a category, then in fact #11115 is
 needed in order to make the cache work on those parent structures that do
 not allow attribute assignment.
