Based on the feedback I've gotten so far, it looks like there's
widespread support for the backout + direction change. The reason
there's support is that it has been thought out and is bulletproof,
not a one-off hack. We've got to start using interfaces that are more
robust if we are to get the smp/kse work done. While your changes are
well intentioned, they take us away from a robust interface to a
hackish one that is sufficeint, but unverifiable.
