Out-of-tree driver packaging has a terrible effect as a disincentive to
merge Linus-wise (not that most out-of-tree driver writers do not
already lean that way, but distro packaging is usually the last "don't
bother" straw). 

Third-party out-of-tree packaging has the additional effect driver
authors do not consider themselves under any moral obligation to merge
their stuff later

You have to push driver authors, not kernel developers. Linus won't
include as a matter of principle stuff someone else wrote if the author
does not participate
