This really is being repeated, over and over. But it's irrelevant.

It's irrelevant because it's just a bad _excuse_.

That driver is used in production environments. That's _reality_. The
whole "staging" thing is nothing more than a meaningless word.

And no, "staging" wasn't why it was merged. The reason it was merged was
that very same "reality".

So every time somebody mentions staging as an argument, he's missing the
whole effing point.

It also misses the point that the issues I've tried to bring up
(bisection, testability) are real _technical_ arguments. Again, waving
that "staging" flag is just stupid. It has nothing to do with the
technical arguments, or with the reality of the situation.

In other words, it's not just an excuse, it's a _meaningless_ excuse. It's
a red herring. It's irrelevant to the issue.
