IDE is deep maintainence, we shouldn't be doing lots of changes,
cleanups, and things of this nature. So urgency and timeliness
is on a sincerely different scale for it.

On the other hand, if you've been looking, I've been applying
networking patches to net-2.6 and net-next-2.6 by the truckload
on a daily basis because it is in active development.
