Can we please find a way to get this thing moving instead of keeping it
blocked indefinitely? I'll eventually reach this point in the merge
queue and i don't want to find myself stuck again because two devs can't
find a common ground.

We have dozens of devs, many knowledgeable enough in this subject to
chime in and tip the scales. So far one dev is against it (Michael) and
two in favor (wm4 and Thilo). This needs the attention of more people.

If a vote is needed then so be it, but for fucks sake, we really need to
find solutions for this kind of discussions in a more timely manner.
