*boggle*

If so, then I think we have a good reason to have a full review.  I
see nothing in the provided materials that would place constraints on
the system configuration mechanisms or how addresses are assigned.

At a minimum, such an approach means that we end up with the same
IPsec and IP Filter policy bypass as we saw with IB SDP, as well as
unclear TX interaction, and all of that requires additional
documentation and PAC advice.

The issue here isn't with what Intel does or doesn't do.  It's with
how the project integrates into Solaris, which is something that's
entirely under this project team's control.
