Did you also have a chance in the meantime to look at reducing complexity
along with your unification? I did run the cilium test suite with your
latest set from here and current # worst case processed insns that
verifier has to go through for cilium progs increases from ~53k we have
right now to ~76k. I'm a bit worried that this quickly gets us close to
the upper ~98k max limit starting to reject programs again. Alternative
is to bump the complexity limit again in near future once run into it,
but preferably there's a way to optimize it along with the rewrite? Do
you see any possibilities worth exploring?
