The I2C asyn driver could be considered for going into asyn itself, since it is conceptually similar to the serial, IP, GPIB, USBTMC, and VXI11 drivers.

Note that "ip" is really not for software related to Industry Pack modules any more.   Most industry pack drivers now have their own modules (ip330, ipUnidig, dac128V, softGlue, ipac for ipOctal).  "ip" is really now software for asynOctet devices (serial, GPIB, TCP) that do not have another home like "vac" and "delayGen".  "ip" is no longer a good name for it.

Similarly "std" was originally the home for a lot "standard" beamline control stuff.  Most of this has now been moved to other modules (calc, busy, optics, sscan), so "std" is more like "misc" now.

Michael describes a good procedure for completely new functionality. 
New modules should provide support distinct from other modules.

This _might_ have a place in one of the existing synApps modules.  This 
is not "ip" functionality (related to Industry Pack modules), not 
"calc", not "optics", perhaps "std" is the catchall module for new 
synApps support?
