Are the drivers still developed separately and only merged into the kernel
every now and then? I mean, are the drivers in the kernel by definition
always lagging after the CVS drivers and will never contain all the fixes
nor features? That would also mean that patches to the kernel drivers
don't necessarily end up in the CVS version, or is there some BitKeeper
magic that takes care of that too?
