We typically don't make major changes in a specialized domain without
consulting domain experts, to avoid building a solution that won't work
or ignores well-known issues in that domain. We wouldn't go off and
build a virtualization subsystem without consulting virtualization
experts; we wouldn't build a storage subsystem without consulting
storage experts; we wouldn't hack on a license without consulting legal
experts; the same applies here.
