However, the following issues still need agreement: 1. What should be the name of the no reset property? "pic-no-reset" or "no-reset"? 2. Should we just keep the existing protected sources implementation in place? For (1), I prefer "no-reset". For (2), I still think that we can make "no-reset" a synonym for "protected-sources" and that things will work out. Ben, you said that you would really like to leave the protected sources implementation alone. Is the mechanism implemented in "PATCH v3 3/4" [1] of having "protected-sources" as a synonym for "pic-no-reset" not suitable?
