Indeed it doesn't, and that is quite normal - after so many years
it should be quite clear to both kernel and driver developers what
constitutes a good interface. One more reason to define and freeze
it !

But the argument that 'kernel developers need the freedom to change
the driver interface when they want to' has been used as one of the
reasons for not having a fixed BDI. Currently the interface _could_
change at any time and you can't plan for it.

Same for 'if your driver is open source then it will be maintained
by some volunteers.' Maybe it will, maybe not. It's understandable
that some people don't want to base a business on that.
