It would be worth a try now that the kernel and userspace parts are
clearly separated, and that dahdi is now quite stable. Also Linux now
has some staging area for new drivers and dahdi should be good enough to
be included there.

Quite a few distribution have good packages for dahdi modules, so maybe
the inclusion into mainline is not considered a huge priority?
