How about waiting a bit until patches reviewed and tested upstream? I'm worried about some devices in particular, like Bluetooth DUN based ones, as I rarely test those and I'm almost certain that I broke them in strict mode. As soon as we get this merged to git master, I can tag a 1.8 beta release (e.g. 1.7.990). What do you think? -- Aleksander https://aleksander.es
