I've often wondered...

Was there a policy reason why the BSD drivers are developed as a separate 
project rather than trying to get Digium to roll the BSD patches into the 
main Zaptel sources, or did it just evolve that way?

Now that the BSD Zaptel is maturing, would it be worth trying to get this to 
happen, so we don't have to play catch-up all the time?
