This would be great, but I doubt it will be in 4.1-R. Please remember that we're only 2 - 3 weeks away from the release date, and maybe just one week from the beta stage. The ``propellers'' code is not widely tested (although I'm using it for many months, as well as a few friends of mine, but I wouldn't call this a ``wide test''), so I'd consider it to be experimental. 5.0-current is the right place to put this code into. Whether it's appropriate to MFC it after a while is a different question, but this won't happen before 4.1-R, I'm sure. BTW, the code that I have (and which I submitted) is for 4.0-current (about half a year old), and there have been a few changes to syscons in the meantime. That means that the code has to undergo some changes before it can be committed. And right now I have almost _zero_ time to spend on that (I'm moving and changing jobs).
