I understand.

I have softmac type of devices (ath9k type, host side aggregation)
that I'd like to keep updating for awhile, so I'd rather have a
helping stack.

If anyone here has the experience, time and testing capabilities to do
this big rework/cleanup, I may be able to get this funded, drop me an
email.
