I'll point out that my vap work languished for almost 3 years waiting 
for help to convert drivers.  That help never really came; people did 
pitch in towards the end (not to belittle the help I received) but in 
the end it took sponsorship to see it into the tree.  Even now there are 
drivers that are unfinished (ipw comes to mind) and much work still remains.

I am solidly behind Ed and believe his plan is the correct one.
