Janne, as from my side we already delivered vendor specific drivers
with vendor specific interfaces
to a couple of customers and also patched the enduser applications for
it since the API didn't provide the necessary
features.
I don't see that there's a restriction on a single API for it, BSD
guys simply put a compatibility layer infront of their API
in order to support linux applications while having the full flexibility.
Although it's your opinion and I respect it.

Markus
