In Linux it in fact is. Especially when the subsystem has big changes
like scsi in the 2.4->2.6 transition. We need to clean out the letovers,
and we want to finish that in early 2.7. Getting these changes in earlier
tends to make life much easier, but I'll do another pass once 2.7 is out -
if a maintainer wants to reject those changes then his driver will simply
break.
