Proposing patches is clearly very premature here. First, we should see an
analysis of the extent to which types affected by such a change appear in
the ABIs of libraries in GNU/Linux distributions (together with tools
distributors can use to identify affected libraries so they can manage
such a change in their distributions, if consensus on such a change were
reached).
