Yes. Once users start depending on proprietary drivers, they have
already lost the game. I am reminded of this discussion from Linus.

"Basically, I want people to know that when they use binary-only
modules, it's THEIR problem. I want people to know that in their bones,

in a cold sweat every once in a while if they use binary-only modules."
