As with any other software development project, you have to draw a line
somewhere and say "these things will be in the release and these things
will not be in the release"; otherwise, you will never have a release at
all.

I am not familiar with the code in this case but if its inclusion changed
enough other things in the system where _everything_ had to be re-tested
then it's not worth the regression.

These are just the simple facts of (any) software development.


well, ok that is completly understandable basicly

but this driver is unusable since dec/jan for me, for others probably longer

IMO it would make sense to be replaced by Pyuns driver because the original is
not functional

kind of strange getting a new release with a known not functional driver
