Why?  What does the kernel get out of it?

Maybe *you* need them to be supported, but maybe you should have
 thought of that earlier in the design process.  ("A failure on
 your part to foresee the eminently foreseeable does not
 constitute an emergency on mine.")
If we let folks bypass our standards with a _fait accompli_, we
 don't really have standards in the first place.
