Hmmm... we should compare it to the current code, not to some hypothetical
other implementation that nobody has shown the willingness or ability
to write.
Of course, when/if the other code is written, we can use it in place of the
"compare timestamp and size" since it will presumably be an overall
better solution.

I must say I don't understand what you're talking about here.
The "listen to messages" thingy is very much non-posix.
