Unclear paragraph

Parent article: LCA: Graphics driver ponies

KMS ends the "mess" which came from having graphics drivers in the kernel; digging out of that particular hole took a good seven years or so. But now our graphics drivers are in the kernel, just like most other drivers.

I don't understand - are the drivers in the kernel or not, and is this a mess?

They have not been in the kernel which lead to a mess, but now they are. I
already reported that obvious typo. But it's still very early in the
morning over in the U.S.

That's a really silly mistake; I'm not sure how it got through. It's fixed now, sorry for the confusion.
