While I understand this, I don't see why CDF can't enhance these

is DT really that inflexible?

It seems that have a simple description for basic panels like Thierry wants
to support, that can be enhanced for the other cases in the future should
suffice, I really don't like blocking stuff that makes things work on the chance
of something that isn't upstream yet, its sets a bad precedent, its also breaks
the perfect is the enemy of good rule
