It is an open source library, as per the license and the code availability. What more is expected here? No distro has to pick it up, that's not a requirement for kernel code, we have many kernel helper programs that are not in distros. Heck, udev took a long time to get into distros, does that mean the kernel side of that interface should never have been merged? I don't understand your complaint here, it's not our place to judge the code quality of userspace libraries, otherwise we would never get any real-work done :) thanks, greg k-h
