The kernel is already super complicated and has millions of lines of code. If it can be done nicely in userspace, let's do it there and keep the kernel maintainable.
I don't think this is a strong argument against this feature. The implementation of this feature will be pretty straightfoward - only a small part of the code has to actually change its behavior and it can do without changing the interfaces it already relies on. On top of that, I don't think it can be done "nicely" in userspace anyway.
