It would be nice if the distros could compile out-of-tree snapshots in a nice user friendly way. But for this to work they have to be GPL source code and not arbitrary binary blobs.
Certainly for me as a developer the current wireless testing tree/compat layer is an example of doing it right. I can run wireless with my distro kernel but still have the latest greatest without upgrading the kernel if I want. I wonder if more out-of-tree's could follow the wireless model.
