Mm? There's plenty of code in the ubuntu kernel that hasn't been
accepted upstream, and in some cases never will be. There's a difference
between code that's unacceptable because it's bad and invasive code
(like bootsplash or swsusp2 in its current form) and code that either
hasn't been merged or doesn't quite fit upstream's shipping criteria.
