Why is dynamic sensor stacks a new repo?  I would like to see this done 
in the existing ipmid repo.  If the default implementations there today 
are undesired, I'd be fine with seeing those moved to the 
openpower-ipmi-oem repository.

FWIW I would like to make use of dynamic SDR on my new systems (I work 
for IBM) but I still have to maintain support for Witherspoon, which 
relies on the old fixed & hardcoded sensor identifiers.
