Agreed. And the die-hard kernel hackers would agree with you as well. There is just one minor snag. To do some serious development on this hardware, you either have to have a legendary hardware emulator or a legendary bank account.
Unless...
There was some organisation of sorts which could connect the hardware manufacturers with the kernel hackers. To my (scarce) knowledge, there is no such thing currently. We also know how afraid hardware vendors are of releasing any docs on their hardware. And they're even worse a producing drivers.
Provided the drivers were there, the wide-spreadness of fiberoptics is questionable, so the audience for the HOWTO would be small. Hence, the potential authorbase even smaller.
Until somebody throws a RAID array after me...
