I think it has.  Looks like 4.4.y and 4.9.y are getting merged into
Qualcomm's trees.  And supposidly 3.18.y is as well, but I do not see
_any_ device updating their 3.18.y kernel "in the wild" as I do not
think any OEM cares about their 3.18.y based devices anymore :(

For 4.4.y, it looks better, I am finally seeing updates happen, so while
things are not where I would like to see them, it's better than it was a
year ago.

thanks,
