and a PS to this
If we have a clear plan on obsoleting sound_, a proper documented entry
for it going obsolete and a clear roadmap which ends up with soundcore
being recycled[1] then adding a temporary option to soundcore to make it
shut up is much less of a problem because the option also clearly goes
obsolete with soundcore so no mess is left when the process is over -
which would let you get your CUSE stuff up as a hack in the meantime.
