Yes, it is :) Well I already wrote to Paul because of this and got a response. Basically he had to do other stuff/trees and felt that everything could go in after rc1 as well. But if the situation persists that he has too much other stuff to do and no time left for fbdev I'd be willing to take over maintaining the fbdev stuff. So you may rest assured that your work will not be lost and at worst be merged in the next merge window. Best regards, Florian Tobias Schandinat
