Yes.

Yes.

- the series is imho -stable unfriendly: whoever wants to figure what
should be fed into a -stable branch will have a hard time. :o/
- the driver could had been more careful about firmware version/magic
checks and firmware opcodes recycling. It's a bit late. It won't
necessarily hurt.
- there is a whole release cycle ahead to find problems - if any - due
to the hw_start flow change. It seems sane.
- the relative amount of binary like cruft is going down.

I am not overflowed with enthusiasm but the gain should exceed the pain.
