yeah, I was wrong in my initial comment. Discard it please.

I inverted and confused the logic which should be "multiple servers' versions
compatible with new drivers". That's how I see happening the development right
now - I remembering some time ago when someone attempt to remove libpciaccess
or ISA bus support in driver side that doesn't exist anymore in new servers
but still in driver side. 

In my opinion I like 1:1 mapping (drivers merged with server), which I think
accelerates development. But, anyway, this is going off topic and is subject
for XDS on next week :)


Cheers,
