I do not fully follow, the commit message state following:
Note that the biggest value in having the prediction weight table
separated is to allow applications to skip setting this largish control
Yet the driver still require this new control to be included in the request
thanks to the .required = true statement. (if i understand the code correctly)
So applications still need to set this largish control?
