If they don't cause a problem, no objection from me.
However, I'd like to suggest that we tweak your rework of the major
number range to:
0-191 MD
192-255 reserved for local use
256-... MI
IIRC there's an outstanding PR asking for us to reserve a
"local" (or "vendor" ?) range in the major number space, and this
seems like the perfect time to do that.
