1. Will the move to a more uniform driver model in 2.6 increase the chances of a given binary driver working with a 2.6+ kernel.
2. Will the new model reduce the use/need for kernel modules. Would this be a good thing if functionality could be implemented in a driver instead of a module.
3. Will the practice of deliberately breaking some binary only 'tainted' modules prevent take up of Linux. Isn't this taking things too far?
