I move that:
The TC agrees to resolve the following specification issue:
VIRTIO-138: multiple errors in section: Non-transitional Device With Legacy Driver
--------------------------------------
virtio 1.0 has two sections titled "Non-transitional Device With
Legacy Driver" the first says devices SHOULD fail, the second
says devices MUST fail. Clearly a mistake.
Other issues: devices don't really fail - they cause drivers to
fail. second section seems to be in the wrong place, and also
have a section followed by subsection with no explanatory text in
between, which is ugly.
Finally, this text was originally ritten to handle buggy windows
drivers gracefully, but later we changed device IDs so it's not
really required there. Might be handy for some other buggy legacy
drivers, though no such drivers are known.
--------------------------------------
The TC accepts the following proposed changes to the specification:
--------------------------------------
Subject: [PATCH] multiple errors: Non-transitional With Legacy
Newsgroups: gmane.comp.emulators.virtio.devel, gmane.comp.emulators.virtio.committee
Date: 2015-03-26 19:28:49 GMT (19 hours and 50 minutes ago)
To fix, drop the duplicate section variant, add some explanatory
text, clarify what does "same ID" mean here, and clarify
that the work-around is only needed if a buggy driver
is known to bind to a transitional device.

--------------------------------------
The TC agrees to include the above change(s) in specification version(s) "virtio 1.0 cs03", and future versions of the
specification.

Reminder: A Voting Member must be active in a TC to maintain voting rights. As
the Virtio TC has adopted a standing rule to conduct business only by
electronic ballot, without Meetings, a Voting Member who fails to cast a ballot
in two consecutive Work Product Ballots loses his or her voting rights at the
close of the second ballot missed.
