I realise it depends on it to function, but that doesn't mean it couldn't be built with support for it, so that if a user chooses to install the proprietary drivers, it will automatically support them, and without the drivers it would simply not detect them... its like having the hddtemp code in there but not actually having hddtemp installed - couldn't this be a viable option?
