Yes, probably. My priority is to hash out the classification first though, so it isn't in this series yet. On the cmd line switches: How much flexibility do we want on this? We can go for a simple -future switch, as suggested by armbru, disallowing obsolete and deprecated devices. We could go for a full-blown ... -policy {experimental,unsupported,...}={enable,warn,disable} ... or something inbetween. Comments? Other ideas? cheers, Gerd
