I think the biggest problem with getting it into stable previously (and for the next few weeks), is the headers issue - we could not just unmask 2.6 headers. Hopefully if 2.6.6-r1 or latest 2.6.7 linux26-headers test ok, and we get headway with bootstrap.sh, we can really think about 'offical' NPTL support ...
