|Wait a minute. Wouldn't the *entire* space put us well above 10 million

Definitely.  However, there would be some additional expense involved (and
latency in the product delivery).  Such products would require some
additional physical resources over what's being designed in today and would
require a separate development cycle.  There would also be an addition to
the cost structures of the products, which would undoubtedly be reflected in
pricing.
