The status is - and was - that we try to stay out of the way  of  the
Linux  kernel  merge  window.  So we're waiting for Linux 2.6.23, and
then at least 3 weeks...

I didn't find any time last week and the weekend, but I shouldbe able
to have most of the pending stuff merged in until next weekend.  That
should result in 1.3.0-rc3 (which will be followed by 1.3.0 ?).

I will push 1.3.0-rc3 to -testing as base for Grant.

Moving drivers may happen after this.

Well, I guess you'll have to ask Linus, then :-)
