And we're still waiting to hear the answers to all of Hans' questions. I
still haven't seen anyone explaining why any of this is needed. You
could have just continued letting Venus support 8250 so presumably there
is some benefit in using Iris instead. Which? And is that potential
benefit important enough to not just wait until Iris is up to par
feature wise?

They are documented in this RFC [1] as comments, and would be added in v10 as we
conclude the ongoing discussion to handle 2 drivers during the transition phase.

Ah, I forgot about the comment. Most of that should probably go in the
cover letter and commit messages of v10 instead (and with a more
condensed comment in the code), but it does indeed seem to provide some
answers.
