The fact that the code still isn't upstream?

And I'm not betting on distros picking this tree up, but it is in an
easy form if they wish to do so :)

Heh, most of the drivers are in my tree because they were stagnating
somewhere else :)

Hopefully no, it's trivial to drag them along forever, but I'll be
working to get them upstream as fast as I can, and it also provides a
very nice project for someone to pick up and work on, as a number of
developers already have.

thanks,
