Well, look at it from my point of view ... a complete driver revision
with enhancements and bug fixes is potentially destabilising so it can't
go in to a *real* rc (unless you split out the bug fixes).

My real beef is that I can't tell when a real rc actually is.  I've
already concluded that -rc1 to -rc3 are the "We're only joking you can
still do full feature re-writes".  However, your patch arrived at -rc4
which is the point I think we're getting to the "we might actually mean
this is a rc" phase.
