DT is certainly not a silver bullet.  Good judgement will be needed as 
to what is put in DT and how it is represented.  I don't think that it 
would make things worse than they are now though.

I also do have some concerns about some aspects of DT which I've 
expressed several times in the past.  However I don't think holding back 
those patches any longer is a solution though.

So consider this as a ACK from my part to merge those patches now.  This 
will get the ball rolling.
