The bigger question is whether that layer is getting maintained. If it
isn't, it will likely get removed. I'd prefer it to get added to the
layer index and the namespace collision getting fixed.

I was going to cc the maintainer but there isn't one listed in the
README which is a really bad start. The feedback I gave when this was
added has not all been acted upon either (multi-dtb.inc,
layencytop/sysprof nastiness).

This puts it right at the top of my "likely to get removed soon" list.

Bruce: Since you have an idea who wrote it, could you find out whether
its going to get fixed (at the very least fix the README, add to the
index and resolve the namespace) or whether I should be deleting it.

Cheers,
