[...] I'm willing to bet that noone explicitly uses "-s DEVNAME" already, as that simply does not work (because DEVNAME is not a tag). Hacking the code to make DEVNAME a tag looked trivial to me but changing things (again) will be risk ending up in a neverending back-and-forth dance between people wanting/relying on different behaviours. Thats why I wanted to ask for input from upstream as soon as possible in this matter, even before producing the patch.
