I don't have as much as time as I used to have (both life and work
factors) to contribute to b53, and comments like those really make me to
continue digging my cave and move away from any sort of upstream

This is open source, so if you have the datasheet and feel like you do
better, please go ahead, I certainly won't object and will happily
review patches.
