Chris Demetriou has brought to my attention that parts of the Device
Properties proposal may conflict with the (ab)?use of config_search in
NetBSD/Amiga (and Atari; though some details may be different).
I don't think that you there will be significant impact
from device properties. The current interfaces should
continue to work, and though I think you are doing there
is an abuse of the interfaces, it should continue to work
until you change to a property-based install. At that
point this will all need to be rewritten to the new
interfaces anyway.
