I'm of the opinion that they should not be included into LSK at all.

That is, they should be dropped from Amit's branch and someone should go back to original authors and ask them to either improve them, make them CONFIG_ conditional and so on.

If or once they're in better shape and we can be sure they aren't going to break things, then we should think about including them.

I haven't seen them all, so can't really ask you to drop them :)
