Of course :)

I think it's too early to give a defintive answer here, so the
discussion of the ROS API and the used underlying hardware driver
should be independent (at least as long as no new device features are
found that need to be exposed). It would be best if the implementation
is geared towards a flexible swap out of the hardware driver.
