As far as I know, ARM dumped these sources years ago, and there
aren't going to be new versions to import. (Anybody with more
recent inside contacts please speak up.) There's a lot of flakiness
and unfinished code in it too, and nobody volunteering to redo,
so I'd say not to worry too much about the amount of local mods -
just do whatever it takes to keep it working.
And the next time somebody tries to get a random library
imported into the code verbatim because "ours is the best
implementation of the protocol, and we're going to maintain it",
Just Say No. I'm so sorry I put rdi-share in there.
