This (I hope) is the future. If we can get the vendors to cooperate with us at this level then we can eliminate the vendor/upstream driver distinction.
While I try to be ambivalent about drivers/staging, I _do_ think that it tends to enable vendors to get aways with _less_ support of the community by facilitating them in taking advantage of the "pragmatic" among us.
