Luis a) asked me to do it b) asked me to split it up like that (believe
me, it was extra work). A good few maintainers subsequently protested
that it wasn't split up even more finely.

I consider doing what Luis asks to constitute justification enough to
give it a try in this area -- or at least I'm not going to say no
without a damn good reason!
