Hi Alfred,

  We'd like to do that asap, though folk would have to be fine with it 
being considered experimental, and that there would still be work going 
on up to the 10 freeze (e.g. man pages, perf improvements etc), and also 
beyond that.

  Should be added to GENERIC shortly. Missed the window for 9.1 :(

later,

Peter.
