We are discussion about changes to the GPIO API, in particular about adding a descriptor (i.e. pointer to struct) based interface to replace integers as the primary key. Any kind of change on this level is currently problematic because it is basically impossible to tell which files are implementing the current interface and would need to get changed along with changing gpiolib. If everything goes through gpiolib, it's much easier to make compatible extensions in one place. Do you have any numbers about how much of a difference for your platforms we are talking about at most?
