Being a lirc user and trying to follow kernel stable releases, I asked the lirc folks about their plans for eventual intrgration of the kernel releated parts into the kernel tree.

The tail end of that thread suggests that there is an active drive to push drivers _out_ of the kernel. Is that really the case, and is it the desired way forward?
IMHO, anything that calls itself a driver for a piece of hw should be in the kernel.
