OOTH, it's not like the code in question was already heavily used:

-/* $NetBSD: gpiosim.c,v 1.1 2009/07/25 16:17:10 mbalmer Exp $ */
+/* $NetBSD: gpiosim.c,v 1.2 2009/07/26 13:45:20 mbalmer Exp $ */

I join perry@ on this thread, and chritos@ too as this should have
been privately discussed.

ps:  I consider rules as strongly recommended guidelines. What is
beautiful with software, is that is can be pretty easily changed and
fixed. We're not building bridge that will have to live 100 years
supporting an ever increasing traffic, or even space shuttle.

ps2: just by looking at the commit log, I would find the interface a
bit too FreeBSD'ish (ie. [ab]using sysctl(4)).
