Of course. This list of priorites is very natural, I think:
1. Working SMP driver 2. Broken SMP driver with a warning. 3. Broken SMP driver without a warning. (Even if "everyone" knows it is broken)
It takes less than a minute to add such a warning, but it can take days or weeks to find someone to really fix the driver. That was my point.
