Thanks, I'm fully aware of where shim6 is right now.   I'm asking if
anyone feels this is headed anywhere useful or if we got anything else
we can use to facilitate mh.  

To me, this is still a glaring hole as it has been for years now and
nobody seems to be making any fundamental progress here.  Partially
probably because the deck seems to be fundamentally stacked against mh,
which doesn't appear to have been a design criteria in the first place.

Thanks,
Christian
