They wrote KGI, and GGI, then threw KGI away and did it right as KGIcon.
Thats one claim you can't legitimately make.

However kgicon also includes the kernel code to solve the problem as a loadable
module making the entire argument somewhat bogus at this point. Once kgicon
is finally polished you choose between using it or not, and the rest of
the kernel code doesn't come into it.

Anyway your "anything constructive" comment is just plain insulting to the
people who have gone and done all the work.
