Yeah, and quite frankly, that just means that I'm not going to merge it. We do not do "flag-day" things. We've done them in the past, and it has always been a major and unacceptable pain. And if the dependency ordering is "outside" of the traditional link-time ordering, then it is by definition a flag-day event. Every time you add a dependency to even just *one* driver, it magically changes ordering wrt all the other drivers, because now it's in a different ordering domain. So please reconsider. Or stop cc'ing me. Because "flag day" changes really are not acceptable.
