No, the answer to that still is =93no=94 in it=92s current state and we =
know that.

I think one of the main problems is that no one has been able to pull =
the
thing to the end in the last three years.  Why should it happen within 6 =
weeks now?

I think it would be a really good idea to do that but the current TODO =
list,
I think, is by far not sufficing.

There=92s a second problem we=92ll hit in that same timeframe:  general =
network
stack breakage;  we=92ll hit the times when we=92ll not be sure if =
things broke
because of VIMAGE or are also broken in the normal network stack.   =
There=92ll
be a lot of regression test writing and debugging to be done.


That all said, I=92d like to see it happen as well, but I=92d love to =
have a lot
of the issues being addressed first before putting a date on it to =
enable
it in GENERIC in HEAD.
