Free user space for non-graphics drivers

> Couldn't you create a subdirectory for "vendorpipedrivers", and it's made abundantly clear that anything in that directory is (a) the vendor's problem, and (b) will not be enabled by default.

People will ignore such abundant clarity and enable it anyway. And if _anything_ breaks they will report the breakage to their distribution / upstream, only to be asked to reproduce the problem without the offending driver. Which they can't, and since nobody apart from the vendor can debug the problem, time is wasted and nobody's better off after the exercise.

Isn't this what already happens / happened with the binary nvidia drivers and those weren't even shipped with the kernel :)
