As an old engineer, to me, limited driver support always meant: "not that many drivers". You seem to mean: "I can't fork".
Or am I mis-reading you?
Many of those of us in the new-new world of next-gen system-integrators-acting-like-new-software-product-developer types don't always have sole control over the drivers in the/our stack necessary to deliver key features to key clients.
The "hard" open source position of the copy-left crowd incentivizes old-school pragmatic management to take a "why bother" stance and instead of open sourcing 80% and getting yelled at because it isn't 100%, just go with 0%.
Which is sad. An unnecessary. The won't deal with the very real business risk that happens when you liberally treat with zealots.
Or am I (I ask again) mis-reading you?
