It isn't in the card. We've already decided that. It's in an external tool that plugs into the SPI port. So nobody has to pay for it who doesn't need it. And, monitors without DDC are not oddball DDC is a recent innovation, and a good chunk of the installed base doesn't have it. High-end monitors may never have it. Ignoring the installed base is the kind of thing commercial vendors do, that makes it necessary to have an OGP in the first place -- to get all the things done that they ignore. I see no reason why I should be forced to discard perfectly serviceable gear that cost a lot of money and has many years of useful life left, just to keep up with standards churn.
