Works for me. We do need to keep pushing drivers each cycle (and we need faster cycles just to keep up with the chipset people) but a situation where people are told to keep those driver updates working with the old core code would be fine (ie as 2.4 sometimes was) for some of the cycles when they are not the goal.
