In updates, such things are actually much less likely to break,

conservative about releasing new kernels anyway -- they end up in
updates-testing for some time, and that gives you time to get it
working. The urgent security fixes are usually relatively small and
unlikely to break drivers.
It's not something that scales hugely, but we don't _want_ it to. We
should be sticking close to upstream, and not shipping drivers which
aren't getting merged.
Yeah that sounds reasonable. Any chance we could get a peep from Davej
and Cebbert on this?
