For the hardware it supports, it is in a "releasable" state.  The trouble
is, it doesn't support enough hardware yet.  I'm hopeful that as more
people start using the code, I'll get more offers to write new controller
and peripheral drivers.

Will it make 3.0?  That depends on when 3.0 comes out and how much time
Ken and I have between now and then to work on it.
