Hi,
There is an idea of device type 'alias' in LAVA. I don't quite understand what the use case for the current implementation was [1]. I tried using it but it wasn't very useful. My use case is that I need to submit jobs to a device type with different device type name. This is used to align device type naming between different labs in a bigger project (kernelci.org in this case). So the questions I have about current implementation:
- is there anyone using current implementation?
- if current implementation is used, how much trouble would it cause
to change the behaviour?
Change in behaviour is quite intrusive and will require database migration.

+1 for this feature to be re-implemented. I have boards I cannot add to kernelci until this feature is available.
I looked in the lava issue tracker - is there any ticket representing this work anywhere?
Thanks, Dan
