You recognize that you hijack a product directory with development hack

dev-dts or something similar for Dev time tools.
I have only seen push back on those fake dts files in the dts directory: I
guess that unless someone strongly favors a continuation of the discussion,
you may consider re-shaping the proposal to address concerns.
