r200, radeon, 810, 830 DRM (why not 830, r200 drivers available?)

Being confused as to why there are not drivers for the radeon and 810/5
cards available that do not negatively impact the radeon 7000 7200, etc.
I looked up the drivers available at the below website. The seperation
looks like a good aproach for graphics controllers that are similar, but
need seperate drivers because of interaction from a new driver for an
older graphics controller.
My main question is if we will see the i830 and r200 seperation of
drivers in the next xorg-x11 versions?

this driver to work.

Choose this option if you have a system that has Intel 830M, 845G,
852GM, 855GM or 865G integrated graphics. If M is selected, the module

Note: If you are using a radeon 8500 or higher (8500, 8700, 9000, 9100,
9200, IGP9100, etc.) choose the r200 shapshot, otherwise choose radeon
(7000, 7200, 7500, IGP320, IGP340, etc.).
