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.
