It's a fair question.  At least in the bugs I'm fixing, I'm leaving it
alone.  The NWAM design is tragically impaired by CR 6772510, but I'm
not sure what the right thing to do is here, and rewriting the NWAM
Phase 0 from scratch -- plus the broken parts of libdladm and the
drivers -- just wasn't part of the Phase 0.5 project.

Picea was about polishing the existing code so that the warts would be
something that people could just suffer through gracefully until a
better solution is integrated.  Actually *fixing* it is a much taller
order, and more so for any Picea follow-on bug fixes.
