OK this makes sense; use a simple sanity constraint instead of going overboard on serialization -- however, why is this a separate patch?
There is no real reason other than explaining why I have added this additional check
That is, this could easily be part of the patch that introduces is_buddy_busy(); also you likely want part of this patch's changelog to become a comment that goes right above this min() :-)
Yes, i 'm going to do that
