So thinking about this more, I'll point out that I told Phil
originally that I'm happy to participate from a kernel perspective
regardless.  I don't need to be a voting member of this WG to cover
that.  I'll already be working with all of the WGs from a kernel
perspective anyway, since they all have somewhat differing needs.  If
there is someone that is better suited to discussing and driving the
base of our products, I'm more than willing for them to take my place
on this WG.
