Yes. So far I've concentrated on moving the core infrastructure out of staging. This was not really because anyone was happy with it all, but rather that some chunks of code were getting stalled because the companies in question weren't willing to have drivers for them in staging and others were insisting that the driver be in IIO. The userspace abi's are stable (kernel ones no where near!) so there was nothing blocking the move. > regards, p. >
