Yep. Now that they're confident that they don't want to deliberately break user-space, they're going for mainline, just like everything else, because there's good reasons to be in mainline. It's just that when you know you want to break mainline's rules (unstable userspace interfaces like OpenVPN DCO, wrong licence like NVidia's proprietary driver), you need to stay out until you're ready to keep to mainline's rules.
