My first priority is to get it documented so people can actually make
the necessary changes. It is also my intention that the new API will
also become available in the older ivtv versions (0.4.x, 0.6.x, 0.7.x)
so that would be my suggestion to drop the old IVTV-specific API
altogether. However, due to time constraints this may not be possible
to be done before the 2.6.18 kernel is released, so there might be a
transition period.
Thanks,
