There are companies (e.g. HP) who're trying to ship products based on
TripleO. This means a) elements that are not upstreamed because they
install proprietary / value-add code b) elements that are carrying
changes that are not yet merged upstream because the velocity of
upstream is very low. While I'm not suggesting you should bend over
backwards to accommodate such users, some consideration is a
reasonable expectation I think, particularly for (a).
