| So we are going to replace SANE in the role of an interface between scanning user applications and scanner drivers by the sandboxing-ready eSCL. SANE will continue to exist, but to provide the legacy scanner drivers enclosed in a Scanner Application. | So we are going to replace SANE in the role of an interface between scanning user applications and scanner drivers by the sandboxing-ready eSCL.
