We can't add vendor specific commands to the permissions table because they mean different things to different vendors ... get mode on one could be halt and catch fire on another, so the whole concept of safety via command verification is lost. I don't happen to believe in this type of command verification anyway, so I'd be perfectly happy to switch this over to a better facility (like capabilities), but while you're claiming to vet commands, you have to be logically correct (which means no vendor specific commands).
