- From a users point of view: if there are only to be framebuffer devices
listed in this class, why not call it just what it is: "Framebuffer" ?
Naming it after something it is only in a broad sense makes no sense to
me. I'd be looking in /sys/.../framebuffer instead of /sys/.../graphics
or /display.

Notice that /display is what is used by most OF implementations, so this
kinda makes sense. I would vote like BenH on this if i was consulted.

OF implementations?

when I'm talking to journalists I just say "programmer" or something like that.
