Well I'll soon introduce a few kernel drivers which add the possibility to move i2c tuners (for DVB and V4L - including support for hybrid/multistandard tuners) and demodulators to userspace so that noone has to deal with that project here if he wants to write such drivers. This will make it easier for people to enable support for certain devices since they don't have to submit the code to the kernel anymore, also the firmware problems won't exist there anymore since in userspace applications can easier directly compile them in without having to fear legal issues. In general I miss the _will do_ attitude here even if things aren't perfect at the first time, someone else can always spend some more time on something and make it better - this is only about drivers and not about something that affects the whole internals of the kernel. > As as user (and hopefully in a near future tester/coder) I would like > to at least see this project moving forward even if love is not pouring > from everywhere on the ML ;-) let's see how it will evolve during the next year.
