I didn't say they mean the same thing. Please respond to the actual
points I make, rather than irrelevancies.
If a driver is redundant, then we have no need to care about it. If a
driver doesn't work, we should not include it. The only exceptions
are where there is a concrete plan to make a non-working driver into a
working one.
