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.
