The bktr author has been gone from the project for several years, and the code had been neglected for a while before that. The PRs against it reflect this (that's the only reason I know about this driver; I wound up resetting the PR assignments). So this isn't a case of someone not following the standards, this is just plain old bitrot. With bugmeister hat on, I'd be glad to see someone pick up this driver and fix it. mcl
