My concern is that OFA (and the vendors) have not exactly had a good track record of kernel updates in the past. So I'm not sure that this statement give me a lot of comfort.

That said, I know that most vendors seem to be making a good effort at integrating upstream. And there is still a mechanism which allows for an external provider.

So I'm not opposed to this.
