That's unfortunate.
This was indeed the case. The i2c-parport driver was for testing evaluation boards and other home-brew electronics, so had a small count of users, and the driver would always be loaded last anyway, so it was not a problem in practice. Still I agree with the change as it makes things cleaner and more flexible.
