Which is obsolete and unmaintained. More of a problem would be the
various ati framebuffer drivers.

I would like to see Linux move to the situation where if there is a
driver for a given device its either one or the other not one and some
legacy code which is just extra work.

Doesn't need to be "all KMS" - but for any given card either/or seems
perfectly reasonable.

The big thing that is needed is someone crazy enough to write a KMS
driver to replace vesa/uvesafb and the like.
