Well, OVM doesn't execute. It doesn't need to be compiled into anything.
It's really content.

Think of it as a .png file. It's obviously content, because it doesn't
execute, nor does it need to be compiled into anything, but for it to be
used, something has to be able to parse the PNG format.

We judge content on whether it enhances the user experience. I'd argue
that the OVM content does enhance the experience for an Electronics Lab
User, but FESCo disagrees. That's why they get to make the ultimate call. :)
