OK nice, bad research from me. My sloppy statement was
based on this:

OPEN FIRMWARE AND FLATTENED DEVICE TREE
M:      Rob Herring <robh+dt at kernel.org>
M:      Frank Rowand <frowand.list at gmail.com>
M:      Grant Likely <grant.likely at linaro.org>
L:      devicetree at vger.kernel.org

Hm, wasn't devicetree at vger.kernel.org supposed to be for that?

I'm sorry, I guess this whole mail was something I wrote in light
panic over the increasing threat from the separatists.
