Having seen the inside of their drivers, I think I know why. It's a real
competetive advantage for them, both to have solid M56k based drivers, AND
to be able to change them around when they need to without worrying about
breaking stuff.

Now, if Linux stopped treating driver programs as "special, different
programs" which must be GPL-ed, as opposed to user mode programs, and also
if there was a binary API which didn't change every new kernel release, then
I'd be a little more inclined to rag on people who don't release at least
binary drivers.

Cheers,
