It would, except for timing.  I didn't get a chance to convert
40x over before the merge window opened and I'd rather not try
to cram it in during the 1 week we have.  And Acadia is ported
now (and has been for a few weeks), so getting that in seemed
to be an easier route to take.

I do have plans to convert 40x for 2.6.29, and if there are
major objections I can hold off Acadia until then.  I just
don't like holding back board ports for the "next re-org".
