I saw that too. Me depressed. I didn't finish my fbdev changes. Also
Vojtech input suite didn't get in :( It looks like we have alot of work
cut out for us. This means the ruby tree is going to be huge. The good news 
is that we have more time to work with the 2.4.X kernels. This way when
2.5.X hits we hit linus with lots of patches right away. The good news is
with this project several people from several subsystems can work together
to form a uniform and complete console system. As soon as pre-2.4.X comes
out I will place the necessary trees from the source in CVS. Then we can
play with it. We just have to keep it in sync with 2.4.X which will now be
just bug fixes.
