Again: Why are you saying that? It wouldn't be the first time we carried a driver for an uncommon device (heck, we carried an entire *architecture* for several years for a legacy machine that was down to 2-3 bootable machines for one person).
Really ? Which architecture was that (just curious) ?
If you're building test/play hardware for yourself, they probably shouldn't be in the kernel. If the device is common enough that you're releasing the driver to others, it should be in the kernel.
