In general it's no big deal anymore with the existing code since I already put it into userspace. It will be an issue with newer drivers which I do not intend to share with a group of people who are unable to discuss technical issues and just try to cut everyone down. Remember all that code could have been in the kernel for around 1 year without breaking any device if these few core people (and there are really only very few ones <5) wouldn't have tried to hit it down. I'm sure the project would go on way faster if everyone who has never investigated the dvb core project and who has no experience with that piece of code (and writing a dvb driver doesn't shed much light about the dvb framework) would just stay out of everything. It's now about 14.000 lines of code, around 7000 inkernel lines, and I haven't received _any_ participation request of any developer and all you get if you ask people to join the project is that they are busy with their work (which is ok) but then don't try to manipulate someone else's work in the end. Nothing is getting better here if linuxtv.org people don't work together. Companies will for sure not like to rely on such a mess where finally a few wannabes try to play the smart guys and are responsible that support for alot devices won't get into the kernel.
