Yep, it's all a trade-off. A clean slate is good, but if we can make our lives in transition less painful, I'm all for it. > I think I see a way to do that in a relatively painless way. > Do you prefer seeing driver patches or spec?

At which point, a clean-slate approach is more appealing. But the code will show, one way or another.
