It sounds like the vendor abstraction layer will make things a lot simpler for manufacturers and vendors, so the cost savings alone should tempt them.

I'm not sure, but couldn't this benefit vendors/manufacturers/users upgrading to O?

Also, remember that manufacturers have probably known about this for a while.

An improved vendor abstraction layer might make porting easier but it still doesn't provide any incentive for vendors to actually update old devices. :(
