I missed this part before ... I'd like to point out that a developing a
set of optional hooks that add restrictions to merging will not, in
fact, give you any more time or let you drop support for edge cases from
the merge algorithm (implementation). The key word here is "optional",
so all you actually get is time /spent/ for developing the hooks, you
can never force everyone to install all your restrictive hooks.
