This issue has been discussed to some length internally, but it has
not yet been scoped as a MUST feature, at least in the timeframe of
$HARMATTAN_DEVICE launch. We are following the situation and will keep

It won't hurt if the community makes some noise about this as well
(helps to put some weight on the requirement), so thanks for this.
