Guys,

I would like to ask your opinion of r205231, specifically the part that splits
the state lists.
The change is quite large.  I can admit that I do not fully understand it.  And
it introduces many differences to the upstream code which makes merges quite a
bit harder.

Unfortunately, Kip is not available for a discussion and I am not sure when he
will be.

Is there anybody who is in the know about this change?
Has anyone besides Kip evaluated significance of its impact on performance?
Should we perhaps consider reverting this change for the sake of staying closer
to the upstream?  Or, conversely, propose a refinement of this change to the
upstream?

And finally, is there anyone who can help with merging an upstream change that
touches several blocks that were modified by this change?

Thank you!
