Working on a separate driver was the way we could guarantee the *best
possible support and quality* for our drivers for users. There are
some similarities in the drivers but the architecture varies a bit.
Both drivers can use help from each other in terms of design but right
now the focus is to get users supported. We expect to talk more about
this particular topic at the summit.
