I'm also sure that there's a good reason for this, otherwise it wouldn't be your choice (you is the team). But as it is the opposite of my personal feeling, could you give me one reason for this in few words? Is it for maintainance purpose, so you can remove the whole driver if not anymore supported for example? NetBSD is architecture independent oriented, so I guess their choice is also good from there point of view...
