This is why you _must_ get anything you're doing discussed in upstream
first. Your internal teams simply do not have design authority on stuff
like that. And yes it takes forever to get formerly proprietary
internal-only teams to understand this, speaking from years of experience
implement a proper upstream-design-first approach to feature development
here at intel.
