And by the way, you are not "reverting a change". The I-pipe
starting with the version for Linux 3.2 was rewritten from scratch
and called "I-pipe core", did not you see the file names changing ?
So, what you have may simply have been a mistake. Or maybe not. 

And if you want to talk about stupid, using proprietary modules in
products based on Xenomai you redistribute is really stupidly
dangerous, both technically and legally.
