You need to establish a clear and valuable use-case first. I still

Well, maybe you have noticed that FOSS projects tend to 
be not very friendly to closed hardware and even less so to
secret hardware. I guess you have to fight through this on

said hardware, you may tell them that by having long key
change times, they messed up.
