Well, they weren't official, but others seem to have picked them up, no
big deal but heh, here now you know about them :-)

Well, my aim is mostly consistency. If you don't like what I want, I'm
happy to discuss it, but I'd like basically to keep consistency in the
naming conventions. In some cases though, my comment also refers to the
subject being a tad too vague to my taste. I know there isn't a strict
definition of what is good enough or not and we definitely don't want a
3 lines novel there, but in the case of the .dts file update, it would
have been useful to highlight that fact for example.
