We could also make a link to (or full text copy of) the general criteria for including/excluding nonstandard interfaces, which have also been discussed on the list in the past. Does this sound like a useful resource to have? IMO the wiki would be the appropriate place to maintain it, but we should get account creation and possibly new hosting worked out for the wiki first. I'll probably just move it to the main musl vps (the new one has a lot more resources than it needs), possibly in an lxc container if we're concerned about the security of the wiki code. Rich
