That's your opinion, I think otherwise, won't try to convince you.

That's right. And then when the new variant was created *hardware
designers* decided to call the previous one "legacy". I couldn't care
less what word was it, could be even "bublebee" from my point of view.

And that's exactly what I was trying to do. Describe the hardware, using
terminology *used by the hardware designers* - fact that you have chosen
to ignore, fair enough.

As the compatible values will be limited to the tile name and the
information about the motherboard "mode" will be passed through private
node property, I will follow Dave's suggestion of using "empty value"
for legacy/original/whatever variant. Hopefully this will end this topic
which is already too long.

Thanks for all comments!
