As usual I'm late to the party... I don't think this should have gone
to branch 3.1 which is a bug-fix only branch. If people want the newest
shiny stuff they should use the master branch. And if it bothers them
that there is no released version of it... well they may be right, and
it suggests it's about time to push a first version of i2c-tools 4 out
the door.
