I'm sorry, a year ago I didn't understand this issue correctly.
Otherwise, I would push people to do something more productive during
this year.

If solution I'm going to post next week wouldn't be good enough, there
is a backup plan.  We can wipe out error suppression completely.  Then
we implement less part of standard, but still can get something very
useful into core.

I don't ask to commit patchset in current shape and help up the
release because of it.  I just say there is still time before FF.  So,
let's not doom patchset too early.
