  I suppose I think it's more consistent with the "nothing superfluous"
  theme that motivates ON integrations, than any form of corporate
  tunnel vision.

  The question is whether there is a large, real population to support
  here, or merely a hypothetical one.  In the latter case, would there
  be an expectation that integrators consider alternate SCMs prior to
  integration, or would cleanup be left to parties interested in one or
  more particular SCMs?
