Since there were no contributors from any OS'es other than Linux,
the main DRI development stream shifted to working directly in the
Linux kernel tree a while ago, instead of maintaining a separate
tree that required more work to merge back in. (This is one of
the reasons I've always encouraged more involvement in the upstream
code base - they've been discussing recently if libdrm should follow
a similar path, and so far, I'm the only person to even mention that
DRI is still used on non-Linux platforms, but since I don't contribute
code to DRI, and Sun has never contributed code to DRI, our opinion
isn't worth anywhere near as much as that of active contributors.)
