We could merge or otherwise rearrange that section with the one proposed by
this patch. But I didn't feel it was necessary last week.  

Somewhat, we don't push back on correct use of device-managed APIs.
But converting ancient drivers to be device-managed just to save 
2 or 3 LoC is pointless churn. Which in my mind falls squarely
under the new section, the new section is intended for people sending
trivial patches.  

Thanks, I can try and work with that. Do you want to call out older drivers
too? I was intentionally skipping that for now. But I do agree it should
be mentioned at some point.

What is and isn't considered old may be hard to determine. I hope that
your existing "not part of other work" phrasing will give us the same
effect, as there's usually no other work for old drivers.
