    This statement is obviously not true :-(

    Let us start in a way that makes sense:

    Please send me the whitepaper that was used to define the interfaces
    and functionality of the /sys device

    Please send me the other documentation (e.g. man pages) on the /sys
    device

    Please send me a statement on how long this interface will be maintained
    inside Linux without breaking interfaces.
