Sure, but it's the natural way to introduce the new target.  I'm not saying
it should be done slowly timewise.  I'm saying it should start from the
bottom up patchwise.  It can be submitted in a patch series in the
same minute for all I care.  The point is, we shouldn't be looking at
a patch and deciding what we *don't* need; we should be looking at
what we have, and deciding what we *do* need.
