You just miss that new hardware must be supported for both stable and
current kernels and that differences in driver interface use to be large
between adjacent stable and current in Linux. On the other hand driver
interfaces in current kernel seem to be changing as new features come to
mind to developpers. Add to that mess that not all Linux based O/S are
using kernel at same level.
Btw, people who want to learn about how to design and maintain a smart
driver interface that can evolve gracefully without breaking driver
zillions of times should ask Justin how it does this so well with
FreeBSD/CAM, in my opinion.
