Dear developers of graphics drivers in #LinuxKernel, #Mesa, et al.:
If you ever create a new driver stack, please use different names in #Linux #kernel, Mesa, et al., as using the same ones in different components gets over the heads of many less-experienced people and leads to misunderstandings in bug reports and other situations.
tia! 😄
