The are documented drivers not ported from 3.3.6. There are documented
drivers with bugs. There are unaccelerated documented chipsets. There is
full documentation for old sis 3d, for trident 3d and there is broken
code for sis3xx 3D.

It isnt just about documentation, although that is a significant factor.
