Markus did a great job, not the slightest doubt! But to say it would have been easy somehow, maybe some other ways round, is also not true. He did run in some stuff not caused by him at all. So he decided to break out, take it over, oh well, finally needs some others still in the long run. Can't point to anyone specifically, but we can't continue to hold the v4l maintainer responsible for it.
