It was posted before the code freeze date, and we've been working to get 
it into halfway decent shape so that it can be part of 1.2. It has 
problems currently, but it's important that it be part of 1.2, even if 
it's not really functional until 1.2.2, since the ISDN4Linux driver is 
completely broken and will not be fixable.

Please work with crich and his team on these problems; they are actively 
working on this driver and will continue to maintain it for the future.

That's why it's 'experimental', just like AEL :-)
