I'm not objecting to your, or anyone else's name on this at all. I'm
just asking about Intel's support for this new codebase being added.
Having a new subsystem from a major company and not have someone paid to
actually maintain it seems really odd to me.
That's all. If that's Intel's stance, that's fine, just wanted to
clarify it is correct as I know some people at Intel have been confused
recently about just what the S: field means.
thanks,
