Hey Greg,

Feel free to blame me for the naming thrash it was part of my internal
review feedback trying to crispen the definition of this facility. I
was expecting the next revision to come with the internal reviewed-by
and an explanation of all the items that were changed during that
review.

Ranjani, is the next rev ready to go out with the review items
identified? Let's just proceed with the current direction of the
review tags that Greg asked for, name changes and all, and iterate the
next details on the list with the new patches in hand.
