I disagree. That would mean you would be locked into a set of features and bugs. Imagine if the drivers for video cards were all hard coded.

Anyway... SLI today is just silly if you ask me... the cards take way too much juice to power and give out way too much heat for there to be 2 of them in a system.
If you plan well, this wouldn't be an issue.

Maybe we'll be going mad for SLI setups in a few years though, when CPU's are much faster (or at least they should be), but right now... there's no need for it.
SLI technology is meant as a route for upgrates, like was mentioned in the article.
