I don't see how you get to these conclusions. I comment that putting
here DTS in the middle without any explanation of the impact is not
correct and this one alone I disagree with.

DTS cannot go to drm, which means you either need to separate the change
and make entire work bisectable and backwards compatible for some time
OR at least document clearly the impact as we always ask.

Best regards,
