    Nobody would test it in interesting ways.

    We'd get more testing in linux-next, but still not enough, and not of
    the right type.

    It would be better to just make the desision, merge it and forge ahead.

    Me, I'd be 100% behind the idea if it had a credible prospect of a net
    reduction in the number of slab allocator implementations.

    I guess the naming convention will limit us to 26 of them. Fortunate
    indeed that the kernel isn't written in cyrillic!
