I don't know about the rest of you, but this came as a surprise to me:

except for the part about hardware vendors not wanting to open up.
But then isn't that a big part of the reason for the existence of the
project?  Surely we all hope the hardware vendors would go fully open
source but do not expect them all to do it.  I believe the project was
created not just to create new code from specs provided by
manufacturers but to also sometimes have to reverse engineer them as
has been done in the past.

Thats why I don't quite understand the "lack of work to give them"
statement.  OTOH, existing driver support is hugely better than it was
a few years ago so I can easily see that as part of the reason.  Sure
is good to see the project thriving though.
