+The reason why cec.c is still in staging is that I would like
+to have a bit more confidence in the uABI. The kABI is fine,
+no problem there, but I would like to let the public API mature
+a bit.
+
+Once I'm confident that I didn't miss anything then the cec.c source
+can move to drivers/media and the linux/cec.h and linux/cec-funcs.h
+headers can move to uapi/linux and added to uapi/linux/Kbuild to make
+them public.
+
+Hopefully this will happen later in 2016.
