multiproto tree is follows. This is just the stb0899 based dvb-s2 driver
alone. There are more additions by 2 more modules (not devices), but for
the simple comparison here is the quick list of them, for which some of
the manufacturers have shown support in some way. (There has been quite
some contributions from the community as well.):
(Also to be noted is that, some BSD chaps also have shown interest in
the same)
yes, also including yet unmerged drivers.
Using the same interface, the same applications will work there as well
which is a bonus, but isn't the existing user interface GPL ? (A bit
confused on that aspect)

These devices, depend upon the DVB API update without which it wouldn't
work as they depend heavily on the DVB API framework. Without the
updated framework, it doesn't make any sense to pull them: they won't
even compile. The last but not least reason is that, the stb0899 driver
is a DVB-S2 multistandard device which requires DVB-S2/DSS support
additionally.
so the framework is available, and the drivers could be pushed in
right afterwards, I wonder
who is willing to port those drivers to the other API (including testing).
It's not going to happen any time soon I guess, if there's not an
agreement with Manu's
work. Dumping this code would show another step of ignorance and
selfishness against the
people who worked on it.
