Al, be reasonable. There are many out-of-tree GPL modules that won't be accepted into mainline, never mind those that shouldn't be accepted. But these modules do have a right to not be obsoleted by constant API changes. You are effectively inhibiting the development of an out-of-tree GPL module pool, by constantly pulling the rug under that community. Do you think this is fair?
