I think the issue is of public perception. As others have stated, the
issue is the "in" vs. "out" problem. We had a similar situation
with 3rd party CI, where we had a list of drivers that were "nice" and
had CI running vs drivers that were "naughty" and didn't. Prior to the
vendor decomposition effort, We had a multitude of drivers that were
in-tree, with the public perception that drivers that were in Neutron's
tree were "sanctioned" by the Neutron project. 

That may not have been the intention, but that's what I think happened.
