Even more reason to start seriously working on this at the beginning
of a release cycle and not now at the very last minute.

No, in reality, much of the experimentation has  already been
reverted, what is left is mostly marks original patch with my pile of
timers added on top. REverting it is not a technical issue at all.

I don think there is an easy fix for this, and whatever we come up
with will need extensive testing. I simply dont think it is worth it
to hold up 2.2.1, which already contains many improvements and bug
fixes, indefinitely while we try out different fixes and wait for it
to be properly tested. This testing is very needed and would be a
perfect fit for having a beta release of 2.2.2 as per one of the
proposed release plans.
