Closed hardware doesn't have to mean bad drivers, if it did
the closed hardware would always perform worst in benchmarks
and it would loose sales points as well.

With or without UDI, closed hardware will stay around. It's
just that we will be able to use closed hardware now, just
like the users of the Unmentionable system. But if closed
drivers _are_ crap, then you're free to buy a device with
free driver code. If we vote with our wallets, the outcome
will be the same with or without UDI...
