Sean's concern brings to mind an important issue. The OFA repository 
is a common, neutral area to which we can all contribute. It would be 
a shame if we went back to the "dark ages" before OFA were every 
vendor had their own slightly different software stack.

Balkanizing the OFA repository into corporate repositories would be a 
mistake. It is likely that companies will restrict developers at HCA 
vendor X from contributing code to HCA vendor Y's repository.
