Because the log message reads that I'm late with the stat interface
which shows what the situation is with and without it. If I want to
finish that part, I'll need to block my Sunday afternoon. Given that
now it's 11am, I have an hour to think what to do about it -- resurrect
or leave postponed.

I'm doubtful too, but if there's a clean & solid minimal implementation
which removes the stack dependency -- I'll have a look.

Okay - just wanted to make this point clear, since your reminder reads
"see the details there".
