In the meantime, would it make sense, as Jack mentioned, to land my change [1] as it is? It is small/simple and it only has ~160 LoC Python.
For comparison, other util are using Python: util/qualcomm has ~3500 LoC Python [2]
I'll happily migrate + integrate my test once a end-to-end test has been chosen.
I'm fine getting it in for now, but it won't see testing every build.
Will wait for other people to chime in, though. If I don't see pushback against getting this in as-is (with the understanding that it might be out quickly again once we decide on a plan of action) by next Thursday at noon in Germany (UTC+0200), I'll see that I submit it.
