It depends on the timescale. I thought Jonathan said he wanted to
commit things within a week, which seems short enough that he's
unlikely to be bitten by having to change syscall numbers. However, on
longer development timelines (months, say), it really is a pain to
keep rearranging your syscall numbers when you do imports to your
branch or private tree. Discovering that you have to rebuild libc and
all of your static testing applications is very annoying.
