    Agreed on both points -- it's a stopgap measure, and also one that
    happens solve quite a few cases in the field.

    Field-replacement of PCI id tables is a todo item for a while now :)

    However, anything beyond PCI id table replacement requires code changes
    and recompilation, and that can be handled by existing patch submission
    procedures...
