I think it might be an idea myself, but not at this stage, I think a month or two from now it might be a better time, if we get an agreeable re-design done, then I'd be willing to let a fork proceed from that point, so that at least the DRMs are all coming from the same point, I think we should hold off on putting 2d stuff into the 3d drivers until the DRM is rearchitected into a nice clean stable system that is actually liked by kernel developers :-), I'm pushing the second set of macros removals to Linus over the next week, along with experimenting on a core/library tree...
