Hi Mark,

And you were of course right at that. I was merely trying to figure out
what the next (post-release) steps would be if we went that direction.
And it looks OK to me.

On second thought, I'm not sure it's even worth the effort, as sensors
doesn't print anything for these chips in the first place, so I doubt
people will complain or even wonder. Also, the list of non-sensors i2c
chips is so long that a blacklist would be impossible to maintain
anyway.

Nice. I updated the FAQ to explain why the EEPROMs were disappearing
(4.33.2). I guess we are ready for release this time.

Philip, the next steps are up to you: bump the library version to 3.0.9,
and release!

Thanks,
