While it's not a bad idea, I don't think it's needed to write drivers 
for many legacy hardware that BeOS already provides drivers for - if 
you really need that hardware working, you can just use the BeOS driver 
directly.
IMO we should concentrate our driver support on new hardware. We're 
still lacking support of many current technologies like HD-Audio (might 
be covered by Ithamar), S-ATA (one driver in the works by Marcus), 
WLAN, ...
