Agreed, we have a had a few cases where we dragged out committing much
too long time.

Timing wise, it would be good if we can already hit drm-misc-next right
_after_ the pull -so we have a full cycle to fix anything before it hits
mainline.

I assume the user base for via drivers are very small and they have the
fbdev driver already.
So I support replacing the current via drm driver as Kevin tries to do.

But anyway we need a patch set that applies without extra
delete file / add file cycles as the next step.
