It's ready for inclusion, but it's having a hard time getting in. Linus doesn't like the idea of adding something so big all at once. He's asked indirectly for it to be split up in smaller pieces. Keith doesn't see the point since it was "approved" at the kernel summit last year. Some people are stepping forward now and submitting pieces of it. Hopefully over the next few months all of it gets included. You could say I'm following the progress closely. :) > I found the dancing_makefiles, but not much else. http://sf.net/projects/kbuild/
