Nope; haven't done that so far. There isn't the same threat of
namespace conflict there because deciding by-name what to do with a
node is generally discouraged. There are cases where it is
appropriate, (ie. /chosen and /cpus), but generally nodes should be
named according to the "generic names" recommended practice.
