In that case someone (how busy are you? ;-)) probably ought to officially fork
the tree and proclaim themselves the de facto maintainer (if there's nothing
happening at LBNL, it wouldn't even really be a fork as such); otherwise
vendors (Linux and non-Linux) will just keep patching their own versions and
with no upstream maintainer, improvements won't get shared around. AFAICS the
license is the standard BSD one, so there shouldn't be legal issues.
