If the appletalk community can take the workload off the top level maintainers, respond to all patches within 2 to 3 days, give Reviewed-by, or make change requests, it can probably stay in the Mainline kernel. Otherwise it will move out of tree.
"2 or 3 days" is rather short. If we would have to move all code
maintained by people who cannot respond to all patches within 2 to
3 days out of the mainline kernel, you'd end up with a networking
subsystem without supporting OS ;-)

when I'm talking to journalists I just say "programmer" or something like that.
