FYI, Jeff, we have merged the rest of the celleb platform support in the
2.6.21 merge window, so it would be annoying if that didn't make it

I'm totally confused about who the heck is the spidernet maintainer. My
inbox is pelted by spidernet driver updates from multiple people, and
often the spidernet patches (regardless of author) receive comments that
give me pause. The MAINTAINERS file says

but I do not see patch roll-ups or much activity from him at all. In
practice, it seems like Linas does patchsets for spidernet, but there is
also Jakob Osterkemp(sp?) and Ishizaki and....
My overall impression of spidernet development is that EVERYBODY is
