In general I agree.

HOWEVER, in this case, you can only take that line if you are paying for
the labor.  All our platforms have MD maintainers today -- but that does
not mean they are interested in doing KSE work.  KSE is the new comer,
not the existing Tier-1 platforms; thus the is the KSE developers that
need to have a complete implementation or not commit the work at all.
