"But not in that order" means just what it says. The rework is to happen before committing this functionality to XFree86's CVS. Both Kevin & I agree on this. We see no reason to essentially duplicate what your CVS already provides. Thus, a strict merge of what you call the "stable" branch isn't in the cards, simply because doing so isn't a step forward as far as the community is concerned (other than convenience issues). > GATOS CVS is not going away, even after this inclusion, there are still a > ton of things to do: > * TV-out > * AFC and support for channel scan > * Support other deinterlacing modes and not only Bob.
