Well, from the very beginning I have been not very happy with the introduction of this, and I still consider it half way acceptable only because of not seeing any good alternative. If we look at it strictly, it's in violation of the rule we set forth after XSA-77: No introduction of new code making the system susceptible to bad (malicious) tool stack behavior, and hence we should reject it. Yet that would leave XenGT in a state where it would have no perspective of ever getting merged, which doesn't seem very desirable either.
