No - not technically anyway.

We decided to organise all devices from a particular vendor into a
single XML file - but there's no technical reason why we can't
reconsider this policy if required.

xPLHal will handle devices from different vendors in the same file, but
I don't think this should be a recommended way of doing things.

What's your own view on the best approach?

One file per vendor, and only one vendor's devices in that file?
Multiple files per vendor?
