Should this even be patentable, nothing in this idea is new?
So far it is only a patent application that hasn't been examined yet. The latest set of patent claims that define the invention to me appear to be nothing more than an automated process that does exactly what anyone would do manually. That generally is not patentable. There may be more technical details that haven't been added to the claims yet, but I can't be bothered reading the specification to find out.

The examination process will take a few more years, so if a patent is eventually granted, by then we will have all forgotten about it.

The point is "if" upon review it is judged non-patent-able then some jack-a** will have trouble suing them after they have added it to everyone's cmos or driver bundle ...
