yes, for the simple reason that patches that go into linuxwacom are (to my knowledge) not picked up by any distribution. so it's a bit of a dead end, especially for those users not wanting to rebuild kernel drivers after each distribution kernel update. linuxwacom/input-wacom is mainly for those that stay with a given kernel version for an extended period of time, e.g. users of enterprise or LTS distros.
