Sounds like a terribly managed project that will never reach an acceptable state. Again, I don't know why people are so tolerant of it.

If the Linux kernel had worked the same way, we'd never have gotten Linux.

Yes we would. In fact it's exactly how Linux works and has worked for decades. New features get added in drivers and then get rolled up into driver subsystems when enough hardware supports them.
