    I don't know that this is so. I can ask them, but I don't know if they'll
    tell me that.

    Furthermore, it's better to have the code upstream[*]. That way the person
    wanting to make a sweeping change across all arches who knows how the change
    should be made can have a go at making the change, rather than someone who's
    constantly playing catchup and may not understand fully.

    [*] As people keep saying.

    Constantly playing catchup really isn't fun, as I'm sure you appreciate with
    maintaining the -mm tree. You, after all, do it on a much larger scale than
    everyone else.

    I don't, no. Besides, I *do* have Panasonic devices I can install random
    software and hardware on to:-) But it's not COTS stuff.
