Sure. But someone has to do that, and I made a decision that it was
better to commit /something/ than for everyone involved to run out of
time and nothing to be committed.

eg - a lot of ARM and MIPS work.

So yes, I'd love to see it fixed. I mean, heck, I fix up other stuff
and I completely forgot that this was still split. But geom_ulzma /
geom_gzip actually got us a whole lot of MIPS (and maybe some ARM)
users, so I believe it was worthwhile.

Thanks,
