Can we actually have a single common solution that works for everyone,
no matter what their needs? It's already apparent that there are
multiple different and subtly incompatible definitions of what "memory
controller" means and needs to do. Maybe these can be resolved - but
maybe it's better to have, say, two simple but very different memory
controllers that the user can pick between, rather than one big and
complicated one that tries to please everyone.
