Thanks for letting us know.

This looks very similar to macchiato:

We've decided against randomizing the vendor bits for now, so right
now, I don't think we can use it. *But* once macchiato or your tool or
something else provides large enough *and well-maintained* lists,
I guess we'll want to reconsider (still, there will be the remaining
problem of the geographical distribution of vendor bits). So I'm happy
to see work being done on this front, and I do encourage you to
collaborate with the macchiato folks, and come up with something
really great that we can use in a few months or so :)
FWIW, our design document regarding MAC spoofing is there:
