yikes
I need to apologize because I was going through my email and I realized you
_did_ respond to me earlier regarding some of these questions, it just appears
the reply fell through the cracks and somehow I didn't notice it until just
now. Sorry about that!

I'm still not sure I understand why this is a future enhancement? Everything
we need to implement these helpers should already be here, it's just a matter
of keeping track who has dsc enabled where in the mst atomic state
