The growing image-processor unpleasantness

I think a lot of it has been Intel have split their "Linux" groups out into the product groups in many places. This means more exposure to hardware and Windows, and more "code sharing". Less importance of upstream and open-source. They get the GPL means kernel drivers must be open, but they are often happy to just share binary Windows code for userspace and think that is acceptable, until they find out after ignoring their internal feedback that it isn't.
