(1) This may complicate #5285

(2) Why are we extracting verifcid? It is temporary and will go away once a more permanent solution lands which I hope to have within a month or so.

Unless there is a pressing need for this extraction I would appreciate it if we hold off until #5285 is figured out.

Also is vereifycid needed by someone else? It will go away once #5150 lands.

Blocking to make sure my comments are not lost in the noise. No other reason. If you wish to proceed anyway feel free to disregard my review.

@kevina we can reapply the diffs as needed. This is blocking other things i'm working on. If you want, I can handle porting any conflicting patches.

Thats okay, we can delete it when we finish that. See the note in the readme for that repo, it explicitly says its temporary.

Okay. For now I won't rebase #5285 as I am exploring multiple solutions and some of them might require modifying the blockservice (although I would like to avoid it, the alternative might be some nasty modifications to the gc and pinning).

I am not sure I understand the point then. But it doesn't cause me any problems so I don't have a problem with it.

Nevermind: I take it is needed because it is used in the blockservice.

Concerns addressed.

Ah, yeah. Thats the reason. Forgot to directly mention that
