I did not see anything recently. As far as I remember, the proposal had
serious limitations that must be addressed before it can be accepted:

- It has nothing to handle cases where the same channel is present twice
  in the layout. For example, no syntax for the user to specify "FL, but
  the second one".

- It has nothing to set extra labels and information about each channel.

As it is, it is more complex than our current very simple bit mask but
does not bring real benefit over it. As such, it is not worth it.
