Maybe raising them here will help get some eyes.
Well, as indicated on the Community Call I've meanwhile proposed a design session (which won't really be about design) for Lisbon, as to maintenance of our EFI interfacing. I think I had provided feedback on the shutdown patch, and I didn't think there was much of a point repeating almost the same for the time one. As a minor remark on what you say above: It's clearly not "all" downstreams, as we don't carry anything similar to either of the two patches. But I'm pretty sure you meant "most" or "many" anyway.
