These 2 are going to be really hard to quantify in hard yes or no terms. 
  We can't reproduce the problem with any regularity.  Without a 
repeatable method of causing the various failure modes the best we can 
get is the overall feeling of "goodness" from the testers.

I've discovered today that our "backport" to the stable kernel won't 
work for the deployments where we have the most reports of the problem 
occurring.  Our largest installed base use machines in secure mode and 
you can't install a new kernel.   I'm not sure how many of them are 
willing to do large scale deployment of developer keys to test the 
backported driver.

To _really_ see if our new driver is better we may have to just wait 
until its out in the wild in the next release or sign a kernel update 
with the backported driver.
