What is the reason it will not be part of 2.6.36 kernel?

Eli sent the user space patch that was the last technical debate last week. He will also send a new patch-set in day or two. This feature was under a lot of technical review from the community.

In general - none of our new features going to be included and I wish to understand the reason behind it (I hope it's not personal :-)
