How did we end up even looking at these?  This is converting attributes
that would most likely go away in any attempt to bring this driver out of staging.
I'd much rather see the major surgery needed than tidying up around the edges.

I'm not particularly keen on any effort being expended in this direction
without substantially more justification. 

So as this stands I'm going to ignore this one.
