I could do that. But for a fact those are somewhat different in that respect
that I am not automatically following sfc in 2.6.33. Like the mutlitouch stuff
which is 2.6.34 (now). And somehow it feels to me that giving this its own
tracking bug carries the message of this being on its own better than hiding it
into one of the stable.
And why not including it generally? This slowly grows a bit into brain damaging
variety...
