The problem with OpenPCI vs Elbox Mediator drivers, is that choosing one, means leaving out the features and hardware support the other one has.
So there is no ideal solution. It seems more reasonable for the user to choose by themselves the option they see fits best for their system. OpenPCI seems a better concept, but, as said before it lacks many things.

Your idea of a changelog/tracking system is reasonably good, and has been suggested before. I will see it gets implemented somehow.
@FOL & @SpeedGeek
The problem with those updates are:
-Bugs are still there, despite you havent seen them
-The developer has no objections in breaking Amiga coding standarts that keep things compatible/stable.
-They are closed source
So it is quite a gamble. I chose to stay on the safe/stable side. But, of course, it is up to you what you do on your system.
