+Design Decisions
+----------------
+After some consideration the validation logic of the uinput module was adapted. Instead of simply returning and error code
+it actually panics. The reasoning behind this is that invalid initialization parameters for the uinput device may be a clue
+for a programming error that should never pass silently. Also, faulty initialization values would simply cause the uinput
+device not to work. "Effective Go" also suggests to use panics in occasions where a library simply cannot set itself up due
+ to improper initialization (see: [Effective Go](https://golang.org/doc/effective_go.html#panic)).
