I don't see the current system slowly evolving into some superb future 
system with an in kernel memory manager. The current APIs just have too 
many limitations. I think the memory manager must be the foundation of 
everything and after it's in place the fbdev API should be able to use it. 
The only change to simple fbdev apps would be that they can't get access 
to any offscreen memory as they do now. Something like DirectFB would need 
to change to accomodate the new system but I don't see that as a problem.

I agree on this.

Ok, ok, I'll do crap since that's what everybody wants.
