None of the pull requests have come through the maintainers and while
there are a fair number of commits overall they have been mostly bug
fixes, re-factoring clean-ups and the occasional new syscall/ioctl
handling.

We should reflect the current status so users don't have unrealistic
expectations of how quickly things can get reviewed and merged.

[AJB] I realise this is a slightly provocative patch but given how
widely used *-user is downstream we should be clear about the current
state and hopefully encourage those who rely on it to step-up.
