Paul, this question now crosses a demarcation line. As a contract
worker I'm not comfortable discussing the topics you raise in that
paragraph.

I'm not fluent in business slang so I take it you mean the feature
might be nice but Intel doesn't want the OpenBMC community to have
it. Well, too bad.

<p>What I'm trying to convey is that as a contract worker I have
access to some information I may not be authorized to divulge.
This is a public forum, and I need to tread carefully so that I
don't divulge information that impacts my employment.</p>
<p>The starting point for this conversation was HDD
insertion/removal event detection.<br>
Which then evolved to HDD MFR/Model Num access.<br>
Which then evolved into RAID controllers.<br>
<br>
It may turn out that Intel does want this feature as part of OBMC.<br>
It may turn out that Intel is amenable to the community
implementing a RAID/BMC feature.<br>
</p>
<p>The transition to RAID controller has initiated an investigation
into what Intel may be willing to enable regarding OBMC.<br>
