It's interesting to have vendor specific properties like avs,
cuts, and substrate. That could replace our planned usage of the
opp-names property where we encode similar information (speed
bin, revision, etc.) into a string that we look for.
So I wonder why the avs/cut/substrate information can't be
encoded into the opp name? That would make these properties
obsolete, given that all they're used for is to pick out the
correct OPP?
