Well SoC is mostly a recruitment gimmick for Google (a good one at that
- I have no objections about it :) ) so in any case Google gets
something of it. Projects made for SoC are not necessarily fit for
inclusion in the official system - some of them are just experiments. I
think that getting the sensors framework ported was a Good Thing because
it showed how it won't fit in FreeBSD - if it didn't get ported, people
might wonder why :)
