We already have have hundreds of drivers that meet this description. The problem with having a real driver is that someone who wants to use it as a skeleton has to first separate the "boilerplate" from the functional parts. OTOH, having a well-commented and working driver can be very useful when trying to understand how to get from the boilerplate to a real driver. Addressing the latter point: It would be useful if (eg) the README file gave a few examples of drivers that made good examples for basing other drivers on. I know people have made various suggestions in mailing lists over the years but I don't believe the answers have been collected by anyone. -- Peter Jeremy
