The current method used by libscg is well established since 10 years. Now Linux likes to confuse people by trying to enforce a completely incompatible access method. Note that I need to avoid unneeded efforts and for this reason, I need to wait 5 years until is is forseable that a recent incompatible change in Linux will survive long enough to spent time on it.
