I don't see the point in anyone maintaining any sort of CGL tree except 
for distributors.  The only people interested in an integrated tree are 
going to be linux vendors, and they are more likely just to use their 
own tree and integrate what they want.  If someone really wants the 
sources integrated they can go download the patchsets and apply them.

I can't see why OSDL wants to bother maintaining a tree, but they are 
welcome to do whatever they want.
