+ * Because this is the authoritative source for pixel formats and modifiers
+ * referenced by GL, Vulkan extensions and other standards and hence used both
+ * by open source and closed source driver stacks, the usual requirement for an
+ * upstream in-kernel or open source userspace user does not apply.

+ * confusion with incompatible enumerations stakeholders for all relevant driver
+ * stacks should approve additions.
