I'm not following 100%, does this mean there are already quite specific 
usecases for this?

what's wrong with asking that the people who "fix" this do this, to do this in  
upstream? i didn't say "first" or whatever, if someone fixes something for them 
only, it would be nice of all the other mageians can profit from it...

and the latter was just a suggestion, it's not required.
