I don't think it's fair to force the EFL folks to do all this.  I do think
all ports would benefit from it and all ports should be spending some effort
on this kind of thing.  Inasmuch as there is an opportunity here for doing
this work to minimize the landing cost for the EFL baselines, I'm raising
this so that those folks can keep the option in mind and make use of it
opportunistically.
