Hi Jeff,
first: I generally agree with Hubert: "making people happy is good". Additionally, I am not really affected as I am running FACTORY anyway ;) Just one question...

The particular driver I was asked about is completely standalone. I don't have a problem including it since it won't affect anything else.
Then it should be easy to build it as a KMP and provide via the buildservice, shouldn't it?
(I'm not saying that this is better for the user or anything, just pointing out that there is another option)
Yep. That's definitely an option, but ends up actually being more work than just adding it to the tree.
But it offers a much higher degree of flexibility. You can provide several versions of the driver for different categories of users, and they can switch easily if anything goes wrong.
If building KMPs is hard, then maybe we should work at making it easier.
