F10 is going to be 2.6.27, so the former would be awesome, but if it ends up being
a .28 thing, us carrying it for a little while longer isn't a big deal.
Given there's motion on this going upstream, and it has a Fedora contributor
taking responsibility for it (ie, you), I'm ok with the idea of this going in.
Good news, I've just heard from v4l-dvb upstream (Mauro) that his pull request
to Linus for the 2.6.27 merge window will include gspca, so I guess I won't be
adding this as an additional patch to the rawhide kernel. I may add some small
bugfix patches on top of gspca in case of important fixes which miss getting
merged for one reason or the other, but the big chunk is coming through the
mainline.

Hans
