Patience!
Here is my Road Map:
Right now I'm still chasing sound driver bugs. I have some bug reports against sound-module.2176 and I'm fixing those. Then if the changes introduced in 2.1.77 have been stabilized I can make a new sound-module.2178 or sound-module.2179.
Meanwhile, Smart Config just went into 2.1.78. Even after its extensive beta testing, there's always a chance someone will find something that I will need to fix. I like to be conservative so I don't want to publish CONFIG_SMP again until Smart Config is further towards retirement.
Plus everyone who's tested my patches and has published a patch of their own, I owe them a test report.
