Hi,

This patch has been marked as WoA since end of November, and there has
been no discussion/reviews since then :-( Based on off-list discussion
with James I don't think that's going to change in this CF, so I'll move
it to the next CF.

I plan to work on the planner part of this patch before 2020-03, with
the hope it can still make it into 13.


regards
