Ha ha. :D

The device tree standardization is driven with the bureaucratic ambition to
be generic, predictable and non-personal. Mimicing the characteristic of
the impersonal objects in life, such as the planets, or the plants.

This is just an ambition, in reality the people doing it are Linux-heads.

We (the DT community) try to be better people, we just fail regularly.
That is OK, the important thing is to know one can and should do better.
