As a result, I've posted a change to log a warning on start of the 
driver indicating its quality cannot be ensured since it doesn't get the 
same level of testing as the other drivers.

This also makes me basically -2 on any vmware driver specs since I don't 
see a point in adding new features for the driver when the CI is never 
working, and by "never" I mean for at least the last couple of years. I 
could go back and find the seemingly quarterly mailing list posts I've 
had to make like this in the past.
