Note that the following legacy drivers do not comply with this requirement
and cannot be fixed without breaking existing users:
 - driver1
 - driver2

I don’t have a definitive list of non-compliant drivers. Would you prefer to add
a brief note stating that some drivers may not comply, without naming them explicitly?
We don't have to list them all from the start.
It's for a quick sanity check so that users don't duplicate work
validating that their driver is broken. Maybe say ".. following legacy
drivers are known not to comply .." Hopefully the "are known"
sufficiently indicates that we're covering only one quadrant of 
the Rumsfeld matrix.
