Well, obviously we think they all belong in our kernel, or else we 
wouldn't put them there.

Now, there are some we think probably need some cleanup, and so won't be 
sent back to Dave in their current state, but still, it seems like a very 
odd question.  Why would we include code we don't think should be 
included?
