But we do have a binding for regulators, so wouldn't that flag always
be true?

Perhaps you can suggest a name for the flag, and a specific set of
conditions when it will have specific values. That might help me
understand what you mean.

Are you confusing having a binding (schema definition) with having DT
content ("foo-supply" property)?
