I thought we defined these at least

Required change to an existing api just to solve a problem for a driver
will not impact the application api, they are different use cases, one is a
high level abstraction the other attaching to HW.

Isolation of changes, there will be tens of independent drivers that should
continue to link with a stable driver interface whilst the application
interface continues to evolve for application needs

Implementer sanity, a driver writer includes only the driver api and does
not have to deal with anything else in the full api.
