	yes, I believe it is (one of) the goals of USAGI to merge it into
	the main Linux codebase.

	FYI, KAME has been distributed as a separate patch for 2+ years prior
	to the merge, and the situations that days were just like above
	("only be used by serious IPv6-ers").

	and prior to the distribution, we have been working on the codebase
	for 2+ years.  it takes time.
