Seriously.
AMD is doing great with ATI -- they're doing exactly what we asked,
which is to _document the hardware interface_ so that we can write
drivers. If they did _more_ (ala Intel with its gfx chips), I'm sure
we'd all be happy, but it's absolutely absurd to _criticize_ them
(as Camaleón is doing) for what's a very reasonable and forward-thinking
approach. [and remember, in the long run, good documentation is far
more valuable than "drivers"]
