Fine, I will promise to rip all of the mips DSP instructions out  
later if they don't publish the document.  We've spent more time  
talking about it, than the cost to rip it out, in the absolute worst  
case.

Free software is built on, in part, trust.  Trust them, include them,  
don't shun them.

Fine, let's make them mips maintainers!  That'll fix em.  Then, we  
don't have  _any_ cost, well, ok, a just a small cost.
