Please note that we are still evaluating how to approach this. The
best way to get involved with high-level design is to join the
meetings.

We need whatever infrastructure is required to be available for
in-tree modules too (and we need to focus on those first). A lot of
things are missing, indeed, but we will get there!

Meanwhile, perhaps you can manually import them as a workaround -- I
understand that missing functionality can be a bit painful.
