While this statement was true at the time you wrote it, I don't think
that's true now.  I've got the basics of the transport working against a
real NVMe drive target over MCTP.  At least for the simplest case seems
to work well and I'm pretty happy with the result.  I'd like to see the
repo get started just so we have a place for gerrit reviews.

While I agree, there's going to be some churn, I think it's probably
good to have a place for said churn over pushing PRs between our
individual personal github repositories.

I would like to see this happen.  Once it does, I'll likely push reviews
for the commits in this tree to it (which includes both Jeremys commits
as well as my own.

I vote the time is now.  Any objections?
