And people might want to sometimes extend fbcon to enable new features for drm drivers, e.g. Hans' panel orientation work. The problem is that when those patches only touch fbdev code they'll never show up on drm developer's radar, which means we end up with designs that don't really fit whell into the full stack. That happened a bit with the panel orientation work, where an fbcon patch made it into 4.14, implementing a design that won't really work on the drm side. Which means we now have to redo things, and on top coordinate 2 subsystem trees. Since fbdev is super low-volume we can prevent this in the future by simply adding the dri-devel mailing list to the fbdev subsystem.
