I'm in exactly the same boat, only current is never calm enough for anything but a piece at a time because the review requirements are so strict (funny, the LKM and SYSINIT code went in fast enough...). I have also compromised on the "broken as hell" and "we can't see the relationship" issues... perhaps we will see something come of this still, despite Jordan's rantings about getting everything at once so he can pick and choose.
