... Maybe "Brl.Volumes" could be joined to this module? It's something "platform specific" but also required when interacting with "platforms".

MaxGUI already has username stuff, for some reason...

You could move that stuff into brl.platform ?

As I wrote in the bmx-ng/bmx-ng#92 issue it would be good to have a brl.platform which could incorporate the functionality of brl.volumes. And I already asked it here a month ago. Yet I did not get your thoughts on this. brl.platform could contain this platform-specific stuff (URI, versions). On the one hand I think both modules are rather small so could be joined. On the other hand stuff like "filesystem" is in separate modules too - and even "graphics" is platform specific ... so does it need a "brl.platform" at all or should it be a brl.osinformation thing?
