This is another case where I would kind of prefer to let the "shipping version " if the code go in as is, then put the revs in. This is not really a proposal for code to give out to people: it's a different animal entirely. This is the code that's on the laptop that you can buy today. Because a lot of this code is in read only flash (i.e. not easily changed), it's useful to have a version in the repo that is exactly what's on that machine.
I think it would be wonderful if we could get your comments in and do another rev based on that, with the caveat that at that point you're no longer building what's on the machine and there are no guarantees.
I hope that makes some non-zero amount of sense :-)
