Yes, my rule of thumb is something like "if it does something useful, complies with the rules in backend-writing.txt (and the SANE standard), doesn't break compilation and doesn't cause hardware damage it can go in. For more fine-grained control we have the status levels for each scanner. Bye, Henning
