IIRC, the discussion back then concluded that there should be no properties without prefixes except for properties that are really generic, which wasn't an applicable argument for those of this driver.

Probably not worth carrying > both, so I guess just leave this for consistency. Wasn't there a general agreement to *not* provide guarantees on the stability of TD bindings, in order to be able to refactor and unify them? Sorry, I haven't followed the discussion around all that for a while, so I'm just asking out of curiosity. As far as I'm concerned, I could live with any kind of such change and notify the users I know of personally so they can follow up. But I don't know about others of course.
