Actuallyk, I think Brian has done the right thing here.  He's brought it
off the vendor branch since it's not yet ready to be part of the 'vendor
release', and needs more wide testing.

Once it has been tested, it can be submitted to the vendor, and the next
import it will be part of the vendor's code, and it'll be trivially
to fix the 'conflict' and all will be well.

This is how vendor branches were originally intended, at least in my
reading of all the CVS materials (many of which are unfortunately no
longer part of the CVS distribution).
