both sides will need to work to integrate this functionality (or re-write 
it if that ends up being easier)

having either side take the attitude that it's all up to the other side 
will only make the problem drag out longer. It's very unfurtunant that 
this problem is here, but the entities that decided not to merge the code 
earlier are no longer around, and it's far better to assume good intent on 
the part of their replacements than it is to punish the reaplacements for 
the bad actions of their predesessors.
