I'm not a fan of "build it and they will come" engineering. One might first talk to customers and see if your proposal is laughed at, at least. So far, that's the most charitable reaction I've seen to shim6.
It's also not encouraging that many of the folks working on shim6 happen to have PI blocks themselves (despite not qualifying as LIRs); I'm also not a fan of "it's good enough for everyone else, but not good enough for me."
