No, the minimum is an optional parameter, not exactly the same meaning 
of MINSUPLIES, it can be removed if you don't like it. The approach is 
not broken, it is not the smarter one, but it is not broken.
Sorry but I'm getting bored with this discussion, I would prefer be told 
that you do not want to include such code (which is not a problem) 
instead of reading sometimes pointless objections. The subdriver 
solution is not going to break backward compatibility or something else, 
while the driver approach would provide almost full NMC support to NUT 
without much pain. They do both integrates quite correctly in the 
current NUT structure, even though with possible limitations.
I think I could save much more time abandoning this idea (and 
discussion) and spending only a couple of minutes in applying my patch 
that just work and do what I want, easily and smartly... which is still 
better than no support at all.

Regards,
Marco
