I may very well want to upgrade the *kernel*. With that, I need every driver as well. If they aren't provided because they aren't open and Nokia didn't bother with some new kernel release . . . :-( "Ordinary users" gets this sort of problem too, merely some time later than the power users. "Want this interesting piece of software? It needs some new ALSA functionality of 2.6.3x." Plenty of people might be interesting in making that kernel. Some will even package it in some user-friendly package management system. But they can't - because of proprietary concerns. And so the end-user misses opportunities.
