I too work on commercial embedded systems, and DT has proven to be
one gigantic *PITA*.
Why do you think our experiences are so different?
Here are a few recent examples:

* What happens when one wants to boot vanilla kernel on the beaglebone?

  http://www.spinics.net/lists/arm-kernel/msg198431.html

* Wanting already merged code to work is too much to ask.

  http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-omap/msg79731.html

* When people try in good faith to conduct methodical boot tests,
  DT is working against them.

Thanks,
