I just switched to Fernet Menta's builds and really like them. Using VDPAU and playback is much smoother. Thanks for all the hard work.
Is there a way to follow changes in Alpha 13 Master without losing the benefits of Fernet Menta's branch? I prefer the VDPAU playback and audio synch, but I'm kind of confused about how development is happening. I could just clone and build from his git, but I'm a little worried about depending on something that is just one developer's playground.

- Are the wsnipex PPAs being built directly from FernetMenta git?
- Is there a changelog for Fernet Menta's git outside of github? The way the changes are commited to github is confusing, it looks like it is reset to a much older revision and then changes are merged from both the Fernet Menta branch and master one at time; and this is repeated every few days.
Unless there's some uber github feature I'm not seeing, its difficult to see what changes happened between any two points of time. For example, as of February 20, how I could tell when master was last pulled, and what Fernet has changed/updated on his own since 12.0?
- Is there a plan to pull Fernet's changes to master, or has this been abandoned? Is there an issue of code quality, breadth of change, or compatibility? It seems to be "good enough" for OpenElec so I wonder what is keeping it out of master.
- Is Fernet the sole developer on this branch? How siloed is he from the rest of XBMC development?
