Just my 2 cent: I'd much prefer to get the driver in asap, especially if
any reviews for other packages are needed before that can happen. We are
running out of time for F12 and users are annoyed that we don't ship the
drivers.

Or, IOW: Is there any downside in doing what Dominik and Jarod suggested
and just updated the drivers? If your new scheme gets ready in time we
can switch over easily -- we need to provide and test the upgrade path
anyway...

Weren't those reviewed earlier already?
