I don't see why drivers that don't support MIDI should be dropped. Lack 
of MIDI support does not hamper games, media players and email arrival 
notifiers. So a driver without MIDI support is still useful for a good 
90% of the applications out there.

As for not implementing the 'complete winmm API' I'm not sure what you 
mean. Also, as far as I know, DirectSound works on top of all our 
backend drivers.
