The thing is that right now it seems the "responsibility of stewardship"
lies only within "Linux", whereas DT is proposed as open for everybody,
Bootloaders, FreeBSD, etc.

In that case, shouldn't the "responsibility" be shared?
Alternatively, maybe 'borders' could be created, in order to enable the
allocation of responsibility of different sections to different parties,
right?
Obviously, moving properties/nodes from one 'section' to another crossing
responsibility 'borders' would require agreements.

Shouldn't that be something good to think about?

Best regards,

Sebastian
