For background, some of the discussion/plans were captured at
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/EnvyNG.  Not sure if that's still 100% up to
date though.

I've reviewed the Xorg portions of the package in depth, and the
remaining portion of the code in brief.  All issues I raised were
addressed and I have no reservations about seeing this included in
universe.  I've found Alberto to be responsive at getting fixes in
swiftly and welcoming my constructive criticism.

I plan to recommend use of Envy as a solution for users encountering
bugs in Hardy's fglrx/nvidia that are fixed in newer fglrx/nvidia, since
we can't reasonably backport l-r-m itself, and Envy at least allows
users to upgrade their drivers in a way that won't cause breakage when
upgrading to a future Ubuntu, or to newer versions of l-r-m.

I have no position on the review process except to apologize for not
raising attention to it earlier (we didn't make any secret of the work,
but maybe didn't work hard enough to notify everyone early enough).  It
would be nice to see this available by the Hardy release, but if people
feel that the package needs more time for review, I would not wish to
see the process rushed.
