No.

As I wrote in my introduction email, I wanted to use this framework but
eventually I didn't. But then I had these patches flying around and I
thought sharing them is better than throwing them away. They work well,
it's just that this particular feature has no uses at the moment.

Anyway, feel free to discard them if you don't like them. Just wanted to
let you know :)
