Better security outweigh performance in general. Security and performance
is trade off relation almost always. Some structures/variables may use
32bit values for better performance when the gain outhweigh.
It seems we are better to reorganize RFC process. It would be better
agree on idea first, then details. Especially for large patches so that
people's
work would be wasted.
