I don't know in which state it is, but the only reason it's not part of 
the image right now is that it is a kernel add-on under the GPL - you 
would have to manually (for example, via "configure") enable GPL add-
ons for the build.
However, since the MIT license is compatible to the GPL, I don't see 
any problems with including it by default. Opinions?
