This sounds like a pretty good idea to me, but I doubt Red Hat will go
for shipping a devel-snapshot driver ;-). What I could possibly sell
them on is an 8.1 release driver plus a patch just to enable the
stringtype=unspecified behavior. Do you have an idea how large such a
patch would be, and how painful to prepare it?
