Yes. Once users start depending on proprietary drivers, they have 
already lost the game. I am reminded of this discussion from Linus.

"Basically, I want people to know that when they use binary-only 
modules, it's THEIR problem.  I want people to know that in their bones, 
and I want it shouted out from the rooftops.  I want people to wake up 
in a cold sweat every once in a while if they use binary-only modules."
