Howling protest is not whining.  The whining comes from those who want
to kill the old driver, which is reported to be used, works well and is
wanted.  It sounds insecure to want to terminate one's competition with
such extreme prejudice.  Let the old driver die of natural causes, if
that's its destiny.  And don't whine if the new can't make it on its own
merits.
