This is indeed good news, not only from the POV that coda can be made to
run on platforms that don't have the direct kernel support but also it
shows that coda is still being worked on - one of the factors
determining if something is dropped from an OS project is not just
whether or not it is used in the community but also if the "upstream" is
still alive.
