My position is that maintaining distro forks is troublesome.  If you
held a gun to my head today and made me merge *something* I'd leave out
the U48 patch, but reserve the right to add it later.

I'm not sure whether that makes the distros lives easier or harder.  I'm
not promising anything either way, though.
