no, I verify that my patches don't break Linus' tree and often also peek 
at -mm, but not at external modules.

And I'm a proponent of "no stable kernel API, but as many external 
modules as reasonably possible should be part of the kernel", so emails 
like yours are always a good point to start asking why the code isn't in 
Linus' tree.

What happened to DRBD?
It didn't seem that far from getting merged half a year ago.
