Hey, I'm lost here, when we previously discussed, that knngist should be
rejected ? knngist is a legal patch, submitted in time (and discussed in
-hackers) and it's not our fault, people are busy doing other reviews.
Knngist has some prerequisites,  rbtree, for example, and it took a while,
but now, when we're close to commit rbtree, people can review knngist.
