Doesn't happen some of the time.  It's not like this is a universal
problem.

Especially for driver specific things there's at times no realistic
prospect of getting useful independent review of fixes, the hardware
isn't always widely available and if the fix isn't a pure software thing
at some point you just have to trust the judgement of the vendor.
