The point is not to produce better drivers, rather a stable driver interface.

It is no accident that Project Treble drivers follow a similar mikrokernel approach to Fuchsia.

On Android, after Project Treble, classical GNU/Linux drivers are considered legacy mode drivers.

Fuchsia is the next step.

I wonder if a stable driver interface could also result in higher driver quality: if the same driver keeps working across many versions, even with relatively few users it could aggregate incremental improvements from various parties?
