not to cast aspersions in any direction in particular, but if we seem
operators running such things and have cause to provide advice on them
then by all means I'm fine with that here.

that seems consistent with work on for example 464xlat

I largely agree that some victory can be declared there.

I think we're probably front-running the community of contributors by a
fair bit, but I think there are people and projects niddling around the
edges even as they employ some transition mechanism for backwards
compatibility.
