Look, I don't ask for renaming just for the sake of renaming things. I 
see a benefit which would make things clearer.

If you rather mean to, know the driver very well, by saying do 100 
useful commits on the driver beforehand, that makes sense. But I think 
I'm capable of managing this. I've got the time and energy.
