Sure, I understand.

OTOH, tty_port and these drivers stem from the same ancestor and it's
partly because of localized bug fixes like these that the drivers have
buggy and odd behavior (because tty_port gets fixed and these do not).

As you can verify from the changelogs of these drivers, it's traditional
to continue to maintain the common aspects, despite the desire to
abandon them.

That said, I'm not the maintainer so feel free to disagree with my
point-of-view.
