I would expect that it is so much easier, even if it does not strike

numbering and any problems we're having with USB devices (argh) to
be real showstoppers. 

I'm inclined to agree. What I said was "since they have showstopper bugs
to fix, we might as well let them fix the less important device-tree
stuff at the same time."

Please can we have a firmware with the important stuff fixed, and
preferably the simple and uncontentious device-tree fixes too; like
perhaps no longer pretending to be CHRP?

The other device-tree stuff you're arguing about is less important,
because it isn't _that_ hard to fix it up in prom_init() -- although it
would have been nice if the debate had happened when people were trying
to put the spec together in the first place, rather than only now.
