We should force them to stay out-of-tree until any and everything is resolved. Heaven forbid that the code should be merged, contributed, and improved upon as a community. You'd think these guys were trying to enable folks with a driver so they can use the hardware they bought or something. Its almost laughable. What idiots. James
