Yes, absolutely. I had actually edited and re-ordered my message
<1374831744.2923.42.camel@...nybook.infradead.org> to try to make that
clearer by explicitly saying that the nodes which describe hardware
devices *can* change, before I ever made any mention of /chosen as
something which is almost *exclusively* dynamic.

Evidently that wasn't sufficient clarification. :)
