Yeah, I'll annoy people again with patches until they're merged ;-) Iirc Andrew picked them due to lack of an fbcon maintainer, and everyone else likes to pass the bucket. Having looked through the code a bit, imo understandable ... btw, I've started to look into how we could fix the locking madness around fbcon for good instead of with duct-tape [1]. I'll try to discuss this with a few fbdev guys at fosdem (some at least should be there). Certainly a long-term thing, but comments from whomever gets volunteered to shepherd fbcon would be great.
