How exactly are you going to sandbox your drivers? Run them in user-mode, perhaps? But then you've constructed a microkernel, and no-one uses your system because it's slow.
Anyway, what I said is that sandboxing isn't a substitute for open-sourcing. They are complements, not substitutes.

L4 is the most widely deployed kernel in the world. > Anyway, what I said is that sandboxing isn't a substitute for open-sourcing. Given reality, something must substitute for open source drivers. Sandboxing is certainly the obvious choice.
