No, I am saying that *if* you think there is a need to make this kind |
| 17 |
of information available, then you should think carefully about the |
| 18 |
design of a feature which allows this. What you should not do is go on |
| 19 |
about NEEDED.ELF.2 at this stage, because that's a minor technicality. |

There are plenty of good reasons that VDB is not specified in PMS. You |
| 22 |
are ignoring them all and jumping straight to the minor triviality you |
| 23 |
think you care about, whilst not doing anything to address the actual |
| 24 |
issue. |
