But if they aren't different why do we need your version? Thing is I not
sure who the 'other guy' is who is maintaining the Android topic, it use
to always be John Stultz but not sure now.

Is 'the latest version' the one in AOSP?

But surely it is already available for Ubuntu because the Android topic
branch is included in llct. E.g. if you boot a 12.11 Ubuntu image for
vexpress and do 

  cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_available_governors 

you will get:

  interactive ondemand performance

That you, Andrey and the 'the guy maintaining the Android topic' get
together and work it out :-)

Of course, it could be that things go smoothly without any coordination.
I just wanted to chime in and make sure that people knew that there
could be issues, because these things have a nasty habit of cropping up
a few days before a monthly release, when there is little time to fix
and test things.
