Why?, it is still ALL software...

Given that some closed source commercial 'box' may be a soft switch, but
then you don't know where the line is between kernel and application...

So why didn't you contrib that back when you did it? In fact, why don't
you contrib that now?

I would think that 1.2 is in fact exactly the same as CVS HEAD. ie, CVS
HEAD stops accepting experimental patches/new features over the next 6
weeks, at which point we say CVS HEAD == 1.2.0, and then we fork and
start a new CVS HEAD, and continue 1.2.0 which is then CVS STABLE.

Generally, it depends on what people are willing to work on, rather than
any specific set of features... What are you willing to work on?
Mind you, I think the dev-conf probably keeps up with these things, at
least looking 1 week into the future at a time :)
