Oh come on, we are not talking about any major design decisions here,
this is merely a small implementation detail that can be refactored
anytime.

I would change it when all it takes is to add a feature (or better:
nonfeature) flag to the window data, but the combination of the flag
*and* testing on which SoC the flag shall be honoured makes me feel
that the feature flag is still not the best abstraction.
