That may be a bit of a stretch. :-)

> would like to implement the removal?

What would this removal be? Do you want _dl_important_hwcaps to
return only the glibc-hwcaps subdirectories, and not the legacy
hwcaps power set subdirectories? That should be doable.

In any case, even if hwcaps power set support is removed, I think
that at least my first patch sould be applied first. If the removal
were to be reverted later, or if somebody looked at the code as it
was before the removal for whatever reason, I think that it would
be better if it had been left in the best possible shape, at least
with the overallocation bug fixed.

Regards,
Javier
