And this prevents merging stuff in to the official kernel because...? I really don't get it. Just tell people to use whatever version of the kernel has support if they want their hardware supported. This strange insistence on maintaining a separate set of identically named, incompatible modules just causes tons of problems for users. Even just distributing a patch against the kernel for those modules would be better than the current situation.
