As good as any, and as bad as any I suppose :-)

There are a few things I don't like with dim, and I haven't found time
yet to see how to fix (how live with :-) them yet. Among those issues
are

- dim requires the kernel tree to be under $DIM_PREFIX. This is my main
  issue, as I have one kernel tree per project, with and develop for
  different subsystems in each. I would like dim to instead handle any
  kernel tree regardless of where it is located on the disk, without
  requiring me to add another DRM-specific tree to my workflow.

- The script auto-updates itself, and I find that to be a security issue
  that I'm not comfortable with.

- The dim script makes a special case of intel repositories internally,
  which I don't find very fair. Maybe that can be considered as a
  compensation for Intel's efforts in DRM development, but a model where
  the community maintaining drm-misc has to resolve conflicts with
  drm-intel before it reaches drm-next bothers me.

The second issue is easy to solve by commenting out auto-update (not
sure if Daniel will like that though :-)), and the third one isn't
really a blocker, but the first one currently prevents me from using
dim.
