Dear all,

is it possible to rename the .cinterion.HardwareMonitor interface to
.gemalto.HardwareMonitor ?

If not, can I keep the old one answering on DBus 'not implemented' for
all methods?

Can I add both?

Thank you,
Giacinto

Hi Giacinto,

We have no formal policy about the stability of vendor specific APIs. 
So there's nothing preventing you from changing this.  But it might not 
be nice to simply remove this interface in case someone is actually 
depending on it.  So you might want to consider exposing both versions 
(at least for actual Cinterion modems) for a few releases.

That's pointless

That is what I would do, with a plan for removing cinterion version in a 
N releases (or 6 months or so) to give people a chance to upgrade.
