Note that saying "it's in vger, so you're wasting your time" is still
completely and utterly stupid. The fact that it is in vger has absolutely
no bearing, especially as there's a _lot_ of stuff in vger that will
probably never make it into 2.2.

I severely doubt it as the only differences as of right now are:

1) Networking bug fixes, you'll get to review these.

2) The drivers/video stuff

3) Arch specific drivers and port specific code in their own
directories, you take these as is.

Stop spreading misinformation especially when I know you have no
desire to go and look for yourself, ask us we'll tell you what is
there.

#2 is the only sour grape area at the moment, I've been pressuring
Martin to merge this stuff into you as I want it in before I merge the
ports in. This is because the latter won't work without the former,
every time I merge in sparc stuff everyone asks why it doesn't compile
still, I want this one to be clean and to compile.
