1. Where is the support for ISDB-T/ATSC-MH/CMMB/DVB-H/DBM-T/H and other 
modulation types. If we're going to make a massive kernel change then 
why aren't we accommodating these new modulation types? If we don't 
added now then we'll have the rev the kernel ABI again in 2 months.... 
that isn't a forward looking future proof API.

2. It's too big, too risky, too late. It doesn't add enough new fatures 
to the kernel to justify the massive code change.

Thanks your for your feedback.

Regards,

Steve
