I believe John is maintaining it, as i can guess from git.linaro.org
That will guarantee that all are using same and latest version of this governor.
Is 'the latest version' the one in AOSP?
Yes.

Over that it would be available for ubuntu also.
But surely it is already available for Ubuntu because the Android topic branch is included in llct. E.g. if you boot a 12.11 Ubuntu image for vexpress and do
cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_available_governors
you will get:
interactive ondemand performance
Yes. It is. :)
How do you suggest to solve these issues?
That you, Andrey and the 'the guy maintaining the Android topic' get together and work it out :-)
Of course, it could be that things go smoothly without any coordination. I just wanted to chime in and make sure that people knew that there could be issues, because these things have a nasty habit of cropping up a few days before a monthly release, when there is little time to fix and test things.
@John/Andrey: Current linux-linaro surely doesn't have latest interactive governor in it. How do you guys suggest to get over this issue? I have few ideas: - John pull it from my tree, and i will keep an eye on AOSP - John directly pick patches from AOSP
