I am not sure what you are advocating for here. Leaving it as it is hoping that driver unloading is implemented soon?  If so then I feel like I should write a full and proper unload function.

Fully removing the code without comment bugs me because then we are loosing knowledge. In 1 month, 6 months, years when driver unloading is implemented the need to release the monitor will have to be remember/rediscovered.
