If there are OpenBMC specific IPMI commands that you think we should 
implement under an OpenBMC OEM NetFn, I think that would be reasonable 
to have in a common place. Nothing is coming to mind right now, but any 
features that are specific to OpenBMC that are not covered by the IPMI 
standard could fit in that. Maybe thing like a mechanism for 
enabling/disabling various phosphor services or something, for example.
