The current capebus solution goes a long way to fixing a huge issue
for BeagleBone users and I don't understand what seems to be a
push-back on principle. On BeagleBone capes, these conflicts cannot be
resolved early.

Do you have suggestions on some more generic method? It seems to me
the proposed capebus approach strikes a good balance.
