Right now we have known broken drivers, and some of that breakage is due to them just completely incorrectly handling tbusy. I'd like to make a clean break by getting rid of it, and re-introducing a thing that is documented and not mis-used.
It's way too easy to just add new broken members. We need to clean cruft out too.
I agree...
But please give me one answer, how do we deal officially with the driver maintenance issue, ie. the Becker problems? I don't want to step on toes, at the same time I want to fix all his broken code so 2.2.x can be a reality.
