If i see it right, this is now a kernel patch, so distros would have to add it to their kernel and would have to maintain it here. With the cvs-Version, people could use the source to create a module and use that, independent of those people who create or maintain the kernel. So at least for users of source based distros, this looks like a step back to me. Additionally, the naming is also badly choosen, if someone wants to package it, since e.g. aufs2-base1-2.6.28 would be below the actual 2.6.27 release because of the sorting of the version string. Can you create a package similar to the previous cvs source, which people can simply unpack, build against their kernel and then load as module including a better versioning?
