Yes, but I am not radical with it, I am for a compromise when some headers
guarantee to include some others. That is the case I believe, I don't think
device.h ever will be broken to the parts that are not include each other
(too many things to change right now, if it happens, not in the feasible
 future).

Yes, and we have dozen(s ?) of the similar wrappers without a comment.
So, I'm still for removing it.
