Not an opinion (neither mine nor any others'), expecting kernel capabilities from an API wrapper is technically absurd.
AFAIK, UEFI provides some sort of device detection facility. Go read the spec. Specifically, chapters 14 - 17.

I also would like to ask you (in plural) to please correct me right on the spot if one my post might look like aggressive so that I can learn which phrases to avoid in the future. I would appreciate that very much!

I don't wanted to answer, but there are many things that needs clearification in your post. You call a lot of things "non-facts" while they are actually facts. You also blame me for not doing things which I actually did. I do not wish to argue with you, I'm just pointing out things.
That is what @kiznti did. What was your response? Look above.

I beg to differ. We don't always see eye-to-eye with @nullplan, but even he raised his voice, it was so obvious.
Looking at the thread, its clear that @vvaltchev wasn't the one "heating up"

I'd add that maybe the problem is also related with a total lack of empathy and a negative bias towards new people. The number of posts a member has here, has no correlation with the level of experience: it's just an indicator of the time somebody spent on this forum, nothing more. While I believe that, unfortunately, it introduces a significant bias in some people. And I'm not talking just about bzt or this forum, specifically; I'm talking in general. It gives the person with tons of posts (and "stars") an unfair sense of authority, compared to the junior/newbie/newcomer with 10 posts. That distorts reality significantly.
Agreed. I only have like a year of OSDev experience, but, I still try not to let 4 stars make myself look like I know everything, as I know very little compared to some people on here.

What is unacceptable, that people put lot of effort and working hours into a project, (...) and tries to say to him what and how he should do in his project
Nobody was telling you what to do. You do as you like, I was just suggesting what I would like from a UEFI library. If that isn't your direction, that's fine.
Also, I'm not sure how I got sucked in this. I simply named a few interfaces that @vvaltchev was probably talking. You asked for interfaces, I gave them to you. The result: Wasn't good. I know never to do that again...
Where are the mods at in all of this?
