The problem is that although there's some scripting involved, it's not anywhere
near 100% automated - there's still a lot of human intervention needed.

(Basically, you can write a script that can tell definitely that somebody
got it totally wrong - but you can't always get a script to tell that
somebody got it right, especially for more complicated assignments.
Looking for the output of 'printk("Here is the magic string expected");'
is easy - checking a more complicated thing like screwing around with sysfs
is a bunch harder...
