It's quite a lot of tricky code, and fairly high maintenance, I expect.

I'd have _thought_ that distros and their high-end customers would be
interested in it, but I haven't noticed anything from them.  Not that
this means much - our processes for gathering this sort of information
are rudimentary at best.  Has your team been in contact with distros?
Are Suse shipping it, or planning to?

(cc's a few more distro people)

Guys, could you please wander over to the appropriate cube and
administer a prod?

Thanks.
