  A quick point:  writing, testing and maintaining such an infrastructure is work.  It is work you are suggesting Felix do, not work you are volunteering to do and deliver to him.  A poorly-design infrastructure for this would be a serious threat to both security and stability, so we're not talking about a trivial amount of design and review effort.  It is something that must be done well or not at all if it is to be included with DGD/MP proper.

  Yes, technically you are only suggesting, but suggesting "you should do this work" is a lot like asking him to do work.
