It is not unreasonable for there to be an options effect and test strategy
document along with results and even code/test plan created as part of the
review proces for this patch. That would both show up any problems and
hopefully make the future maintenance manageable without leaving it all to
the maintainers downstream, i.e. calm the FUD aspects.
