I contrarily find it quite logical, it follows the same convention as stat and
is not expected to be populated. But OK, I'll rename it. :-)

I never commented on the budgets I considered too big for tasks handled by
somebody else. Only cases I consider are when a) my task is underrated, b) my
task is overrated, c) my task can be dropped at all as it's non-critical and
its budget can be moved for others. I suggest to follow this approach as it's
easier for the task owner to rate the task. Deal?

I'd say it fits bug #982. I don't expect much to be done there; also parts of
it fit ELF support which I, frankly speaking, find to be underrated.
