I am always trying to convince people to post RFCs early
instead of working for months behind closed doors only
to be told to rewrite everything in Rust.

Why does it have to be internal to a specific company?
I see Yi Liu from Intel is helping Cindy get it into shape
and that's classic open source ethos.

I know some subsystems ignore the RFC tag but I didn't realize
iommu is one of these. Is that really true?
