Only a small part of all multiproto changes will "go down the drain": The drivers written especially for multiproto can and will be converted and merged. The same will happen with the dvb-driver-core changes. Preferable by Manu, as he knows those drivers and their hardware best.
S2API (DVBv5) mainly adds features to the user-interface (include/linux/frontend.h) along with some necessary changes in the dvb-driver-core. The latter are relatively small and not incompatible with the needs of multiproto's internal changes.
The dvb-driver-core mechanisms can be changed at any time - whereas the user-interface cannot.
