Yes, we really should not have two drivers normally. I think Konstantin and Anton need to have a chat on how to go forard. Without knowing the details read-write support sounds like a killer feature we'd really want if there aren't any code quality or other feature regression problems, but I haven't had a chance to look at the code at all yet.
