I'm not sure about what the limit for a managable number of custodians
might be.  If the number grows too far, we need additional levels in
the hierarchy, concentrators of some kind - similar to what Albert is
doing for ARM.

My gut feeling is that we are not close to any such limit yet, on the
other hand I seriously doubt that somethign like DFU really needs the
formal establishment of a custodian.  Who are the regular users and
who the developers of this piece of code?

Best regards,

Wolfgang Denk
