Ime it's good to just always spam driver authors on big stuff like this,
increases the odds more folks get involved. And in the end we need the
entire subsystem to understand this (or at least not accidentally break
the rules you roll out now like we've done in the past).

Plus you'll get the driver acks faster that way :-)
