Not if I can help it :)
It could be done by slamming a translation layer ontop of the existing
wd driver or of cause on top of the new I'm doing, but all it adds
is overhead, both performance wise and codesize wise. There is nothing
that prohibits having both of cause, but it is not a priority for me
to add more complexity into the picture before everything else is done.

No objections from me. But why, it will only confuse users once again...
