I've written a bit about it [0] [1], what we need now are users and developer to give this a good spin as we wind down for the v3.19 release, which will be the first release that will support kernel integration down to any kernel >= 3.0 -- for now you can use the backports-20141114 tag which uses as base supported drivers from next-20141114. What this will mean is that you can opt in to integrate any device driver we support from any future backports release into any of >= 3.0 kernel with full kconfig support, enabling you to build everything as built-in. For all this you won't be using the packaged releases [2], instead you'll use the git tree directly as documented.
