Agree 100%

Trust me, we tried this already.

This driver development has gone into statis due to conflicts and
endless discussions pertaining to the HCI transport layer
beneath it.

It was my recommendation to put it into staging, by doing this
people can talk about the architecture by submitting *patches*
to show how they want it instead of these fruitless discussions.

So this should be a case where staging really helps, at least in
my dreams.
