Doesn't seem to be the case with all other drivers except wireless ones
and the only real reason why wireless ones are so special is because of:

"But then there's the users, who bitch about everything and simply do
not understand what it is at stake.

And all this is becoming way too messy for us to handle.

Personally all I see around me is people bitching and complaining, and
no code being ported."

attitude which pretty much explains the problem..

Please adjust the process to fix the problem yourself or if you do not
want to do it just make the room for people who do.
