A driver is not a static one time thing. Once you mainline it, making improvements, supporting new devices and features become 10x slower.

  Nobody says the old mainlined driver must support new devices. Mainline a new driver, or don't, either way it's better than nothing.

    Yeah, better than nothing. With a stable ABI, it would be better than everything. But we can't have it because of ideological reasons.
