we currently don't support format in fabrics so maybe I didn't use the 
correct word during my answer.

because of the dynamic nature of controllers and namespaces we have the 
identify ctrl/ns commands in the specification and we need to use them.
Re-queue requests to a non identified namespace is bad behavior. It 
might be even a spec violation (I need to dig into the spec for it 
probably and try to find some description on that scenario).
