Since I am the wi driver maintainer, and I haven't said I wouldn't support this, you are just being an ass rather than doing things in a way that would motivate people to allow you the flexibility to do. I'm not conversant on all the technical issues, but so far I've missed patches that I could test to see if they cause problems or not.
