I'm cool with this. Enrico? I may have some time imminently to have a stab at a new patch. Obviously any help structuring this would be appreciated - it feels clumsy using the existing detection mechanism, I think whatever I come up with you should kick back and recommend a new board detection structure, but perhaps we can shortcut that step with a few comments up front?
