Who's call is that? If the patch had said "From: Martin K. Petersen" and 
"This driver is being removed because it has the following defects..." 
that would be some indication of a good-faith willingness to accept users 
as developers in the spirit of the GPL, which is what you seem to be 
alluding to (?).

Which is why most drivers get orphaned, right?
