Decisions are being made all the time, by maintainers, in mailing list discussions, on kernel summits. If only a limited subsystem is affected, they can be made based on coded quality alone. But it becomes difficult when several communities are involved, like kernel & systemd or, in our case, TPM device driver & user space TSS. In these cases it's important to take a step back from the purely technical developer perspective and try to figure out what the common goal is and how it can best be reached. The question whether resource management should be done in the kernel or in user space can't be decided based on patches alone. Maybe we'll end up with a situation where both ways are implemented and either distro makers or even end users will have to make the choice. Is that desirable?
