I guess the people working/maintaining it should be motivated. Less
code, easier to maintain, debug, smaller binary and a bunch other
arguments that you know far better than me.

So that's the root here - one copies the code and then makes changes if any.
If people are using the "let's copy it all just in case for the
future" approach this sounds like over-engineering (according to some
people). Or perhaps it serves as a nice way to boost the stats -
kernel is not XX lines of code :-P
Fwiw I would strongly encourage that you and/or members of the team
take a look at nouveau's structure [1]. It has handled duplication
across generations, abstraction layers, using the driver as an user
space application, etc., in a very elegant manner, imho. I believe
others have mentioned/given it as an example, as well ;-)
Thanks
