This depends on whether there is at least 1 person at AMD who has experience with kernel development. If all of the team members all kernel outsiders, then this might confuse/surprise them. Otherwise someone likely raised this as a potential issue.

AMD had hired kernel developers to work on graphics drivers soon after taking over ATI.
