I'm unlikely to be able to merge everything by tomorrow, so I will
consider tomorrow a submission deadline to me, rather than a merge
deadline. That said, I merged everything I'm sure I want to merge today,
and the rest I simply haven't had time to look at very much.

This apparently breaks things like DRI, which I'm fairly unhappy about,
since I think 3D is important.

I haven't even seen it.

I don't know why people still want ACL's. There were noises about them for
samba, but I'v enot heard anything since. Are vendors using this?

This is definitely a vendor-driven thing. I don't believe it has any
relevance unless vendors actively support it.

I think I'll do at least the API, but there were some questions about the
config options here, I think.

No objections, but very little visibility into it either.

This one is likely another "vendor push" thing.

Not for the feature freeze, there are some noises that imply that SuSE may
push it in their kernels.

I want this.
