Yep, it's certainly a possible outcome.

You could ask the soon to be elected TC to give an opinion.  But
honestly, if I am on the TC, I would vote against it.  It doesn't make
any sense for Nova to include a bunch of drivers, but one driver be
separate but still an official project.

I think drivers need to be treated equally in this regard, and I think
the majority consensus is that it's best overall to have them in the tree.
