So this is probably just highlighting how I'm not up to date on the
-advocacy discussion :) But I thought the idea was to have it integrated,
and that *that* was "the product" in this case. As in the "breaker that

Which I thought was the target for next release, not this release. But I
may be confusing multiple discussion, and as such contributing to the
confusion.
