Meanwhile, I've been deleting it from my updates to mainline ever since it
was created back in 2008 because it looked like someone screwed up their
entry, and registered 1789 instead of talking to me.

This means if I pull the dovedb stuff into mainline now, it's probably
going to break builds.

Since I've only just updated the mach-types file in mainline this week,
I'm not happy about adding it in, especially as the current update is
still outstanding for Linus.

A little bit of communication goes a long way...
