    What are our standards for maintenance? How can we tell in advance if
    something is going to be maintained (cf. drivers/net/chelsio)?

    I don't think you can seriously argue that just posting documentation
    is going to guarantee that a device is going to get a high-quality
    driver that runs on all architectures and that enterprise distros will
    support. And I don't think it's a good strategy to try convince
    vendors to open docs by using happy talk about an idealized fantasy world.
