Ignoring whether it will go into 2.6.28 or 2.6.29 there seems to be a 
more fundamental issue:

The over 3 weeks old -next already contains mostly the same as the HDLC 
tree contains now.

The thing you two should sort out is why the tree ended up as an own 
tree in -next instead of pull requests to David long ago.

E.g. the netdev and wireless trees also don't go into -next, but instead 
with frequent pull requests to David.
