It's not a function of time, it's a function of skill and effort.
It's only a function of time in terms of how long it takes for someone
who cares and has the skill to do the work.  Most of us just wait for
some other good-hearted soul to do the work that we happily use for
free, and some of us complain about how long it took.

This is one of the reasons it's good to vote with our wallets and buy
hardware with open standards, or, better yet, vendor-contributed
open-source drivers.
