I appreciate your enthusiasm, but don't see the point of changing all return codes to the current state, when I recently mentioned that the current state is confusing. Things have been this way for some time, so there's no urgency to fix up all existing drivers. Hopefully tonight I'll get to the core changes, then we can fix up all drivers at once to a more 'final' state.

ok
