Yeah, unfortunately there really is a difference between server space and
consumer space in this area. Consumer space folks seem to be in a
situation that server space people have been in 2.0 / 2.2 era, where we
had exactly the same problem with server hardware (i.e lack of timely
focus on upstream in the process).
Also, it feels like consumer HW is more in a "fire and forget" mode of
operation, while server hardware usually sticks around for a rather long
time.
