Yes.

Perhaps more importantly, some existing driver code defines the
dispatch table as a struct, so converting it to a dynamically-indexed
array of some kind means wholesale source code changes.  And if not
designed carefully, this would reduce the amount of type-checking that
can be done when the driver is compiled.
