I don't think "works and is fast" are the only criteria for accepting
patches, or even the most important ones.

Maybe, maybe not. I don't understand why we need to grasp the first
straw we see around to get rid of unexec. What's the rush?
And let me remind you that you didn't like this same idea very much

Well, it somehow becomes all but empty on the other end. Believe me.
And even if we cannot agree on that, the facts of what we see here are
very clear.

I think it would be a grave mistake not to be affected by that. We
would be burying our heads in the sand if we don't.
