Yeah, he really should for lots of reasons.  But OTOH, how many people use DRM 
CVS vs. what's upstream in the kernel?  Do distros generally ship the CVS 
version or whatever is in their kernel when they freeze on a particular 
release?  If the latter, then maybe it makes sense to tie Linux DRM 
development more closely to the Linux kernel release process?  E.g. have a BK 
or CVS tree that akpm could add to -mm for regular testing and maybe get rid 
of compatibility with older kernels in the latest DRM CVS?
