That wouldn't be very good. If you have a wheel that works, lets beat on it and maybe make it the std version.  Everyone would benefit, including you because the driver would already be in the OS distribution.

Gene, my (slightly) elder brother.  A new wheel is often built.  Once in a (long) while it's round instead of the previous square or triangle shapes.  The builder is then lynched, since "that's not how _my_ grandpaw (and in evolution, that grandpaw didn't have opposable thumbs) did it".
