The commitment level is still 'Sun Private' as it was already defined by the original VIO MD case - FWARC/2006/072. That does not change with the addition of this node property. Also my email said that this case is approved for minor/micro/patch OS binding and minor/micro binding for the firmware. Am I missing something else ?
