    I believe this was proposed at one point on one of the calls, but I
    don't remember what the conclusion was.  Based on my understanding it
    was possible technically, but then we went down the rabbit hole of
    trying to make a single solution that met everyone's needs.  We could
    certainly start moving in the direction of an #ifdef to support both
    ways, with the eventual hope that we could converge on a single solution.
    
Currently we have only 2 approach which we use for fru either phosphor-fru or entity manager. To use IPMI fru and sensor command one has to follow either approach and both approach have its own ways of handling IPMI command request so either we define some config option or we mention which file to include for IPMI command considering each file will have its own approach or we link these commands to entity manager module which will expose Fru interface to dbus then it will also register the similar IPMI command implementation. As it is tightly coupled we need to maintain this way. Otherwise it will hard to maintain and explain user which one to use.
