A bit late, but yes, between then and now I believe things have changed
and there is a more broad acceptance that just because the primary
repository for device trees and bindings is the linux kernel does not
mean that only the linux kernel needs to be considered.  So we really do
need to pick something, polish it up, and then subject ourselves to
review.
