Depends.  If a new sample rate is (or will be) demanded by many
drivers, it's worth to add it, of course, as it would simplify the
code.

That's why I mentioned "why" is most important information; you need
to convince others about the necessity of this change, after all.
Then you see that "because I-wanna-it" doesn't sound convincing
enough, right?
