By continually breaking the drivers, it forces someone to look over them when updating and
maybe fix other problems.

in theory, you certainly can. but the kernel

in particular, are not interested in an engineering effort/long term

working. linus has made it clear that he sees no reason to do this, and
is perhaps even opposed to it for some possibly sound engineering
arguments (though that is open to debate).
And what are these arguments?
