I've talked to Linus about merging the changes into his mainstream kernel tree, and he's agreed, but only once our kernel actually does something.

It's very difficult to suggest a timeline to a project that's done only on volunteer time, so I don't think anyone's ready to commit to a schedule. My feeling is we'll address the kernel merge once we have a kernel to merge. A LOT of the architecture ports had their own seperate tree for many years. MIPS, for instance, has only just merged. - alex -- Alex deVries Vice President of Engineering The Puffin Group
