Not metric, just to clarify. I think the discussion started from 
my email saying:

 - help with refactoring / adapting their drivers more actively

and that may be an empty promise if the person doing the refactoring
does not know they could ask. It's not uncommon for a relative
newcomer to redo some internal API. Not that it's usually a hard
transformation.. Dunno, a bit hypothetical.
