It's one thing taking a totally new driver (that couldn't have worked before and cannot be a regression) or adding new PCI ID's. It's a totally different thing to take 800 lines of code to an old driver that people depend on. These things need to happen during the merge window, and just because they are drivers doesn't mean that they can just do anythign they want.

The e1000e change is just a bunch of code additions for a new phy type, not a bunch of /changes/ really. Is that the change you're concerned with?
