Ok, got it.

So, to add my 2cts, I would be all for devLib and devLib2 being combined (or whatever is necessary), and both moved out of Base.

Stuff that deals with hardware buses is not essential.
Maintenance and testing need specific hardware, tests can not be run on our common CI infrastructure using virtual machines or containers.
Most if not all software modules that use these libraries are not in Base.
IMHO, there were (and still are) a number of reasons to unbundle hardware specific EPICS modules.

Cheers,
~Ralph

Hi Ralph,
Timo has already written it.

devLib2 extends devLib "only" by the PCI access,  not fixed on a specific card but in general (VMEbus + PCIbus)
