There should at the least be one person on the DRI team who looks at
each new kernel releases with a "Are there any changes here I need to
push into DRI CVS" mindset. This job doesn't need you to even monitor
l-k, just keep an eye on each release Linus does.
I expect the changes Linus makes will run with the kernels he releases, but my question is, will they work with older kernels, too? The DRI cvs sources need to support those as well?
Supporting DRM under stable and development XFree86 as well as stable and development Linux Kernel seems like a large job when your consider compatability with older releases (of XFree86 and kernel), the number of drivers, and the code being shared with other operating systems.
My point is this may require more of an effort than simply merging Linus' changes back into the DRI tree.
