I think that folk tend to under-estimate just how difficult it is to
do the job it tries to do.
I think it was probably a containable task when you started and there
were 3 cards, 4 daughter boards and a dozen firmware files.

Then many more cards came along, and cards that declare their own pin
names, and that have different sets of pins depending on hardware and
software switches, and some that don't even need firmware, and the job
got really very big.
