These are cvs snapshots, not releases. They should be more stable than
checking out cvs at a random time like I tried yesterday.

No, the cvs snapshots from Gerd have been removed some time ago to
avoid confusion, but I was referring to real releases like the ones
made last time 1 1/2 years ago:

http://dl.bytesex.org/releases/video4linux/

Whether Mauro will still keep the splitting into 3 (now at least 4)
families of drivers at release time I don't know.

To be honest: In the last 1 1/2 years the kernel gods had been nicer
to v4l subsystem and changes made it faster into kernels than
before. This is why Gerd didn't invest in pushing out new releases
more often.

Still, if dependencies like ivtv -> v4l and other are created it would
be good to have v4l releases again to have the dependent modules
something to define as a base.

But that's not on this list to decide :)
