It'll get in when the developers feel it is at a stage where it can be supported, at the moment (I'm not speaking for all the nouveau team only my own opinion) the API isn't stable and putting it into the kernel only means we've declared the API supportable, I know in theory marking it EXPERIMENTAL might work, in practice it will just cause us headaches at this stage, there isn't enough knowledgeable developers working on it both support users and continue development at a decent rate, so mainly ppl are concentrating on development until it can at least play Q3, and for me dualhead on my G5 :-)
