There is not much we can do about that. People can already model
such displays as individual LEDs, too.
And in some sense, the auxdisplay/linedisp driver for
"generic-gpio-7seg" imposes a policy, too.
What if people want to e.g. use 4 7-seg displays to show a continuously
running snake?

In personal conversations with technical people, I call myself a hacker. But
when I'm talking to journalists I just say "programmer" or something like that.
