Then let's just merge whatever we'd like all the time? Why have review
at all?
To quote Nick from a separate discussion on similar future-proofing:
"Let's really try to put some thought into new sysfs locations. Not just
will it work, but is it logical and will it work tomorrow..."
So maybe future-proof is the wrong term, but I want to make sure the
infrastructure we have in place, where it claims to be generic and
usable by architectures (as has been my impression from the discussions
so far -- that it is extensible to other architectures), I want to be
sure that is really the case.
Thanks,
Nish
