Gor dangit, before hitting submit I tried three different wordings to try and find the right way to say it without offending anybody or sounding pretentious and it was taken offensively anyway. I didn't say it was absolutely extreme, I said "more extreme", as in much greater. Vminko's attempt to correct me actually helps illustrate the point: to the people that this matters to, open source means absolute freedom, closed source means no freedom, and that's the only thing that will really be gained with an open source driver: peace of mind for those that care.
