This is all cool and whatnot, but being new I'm a bit confused how this
works.

1. Is everything still going to be e-mail based, because the e-mail
based system could use some improvement.

2. Are all the BCM283* files going to be clustered together or still
scattered through the tree?

3. Why do the branches of the git all contain very old versions of the
kernel?
