	[Not architectural, but likely PAC advice]
	Doesn't being Committed and having no upstream
"owner" in effect
	mean that the submitters management chain is signed up to
maintain
	and fix bugs until EOF?  Is the submitters management chain
aware
	and has accepted this?  Perhaps as mentioned Obsolete or
Volatile
	is more appropriate for interfaces that are not
"owned".
