Yeah, sorry. I wanted to tell you on IRC that you wanted to have a
second look, but I shouldn't have kept it and caught you by surprise
indeed.

So the argument Lidiu and Laurent made was that in some cases, getting a
generic property right with only a couple of users is hard. So they
advocated for the right to keep non-generic properties. I can get the
argument, and no-one else said that was wrong, so it felt like the
consensus was there.

Right, but it's mostly about in-kernel rules though? And you're the one
who mentionned CC'ing the driver maintainers in the first iteration?

So, Pekka, Simon, is there anyone else I should Cc?
