Indeed. We have a lot of projects on kernel.org which are like this: not at all conceptually hard, but a huge time commitment for Doing It Right[TM]. This is why I sometimes think that it would be a Good Thing to get paid staff for kernel.org, although I was hoping to defer the need for that until at least we have our 501(c)3 paperwork done, which looks like mid-2007 at this point (assuming no further delays.)
