Nothing disturbing about that at all. If someone pays to develop
feature X, they do not need to share the code for feature X until
such time as they begin shipping uClibc with feature X included.
There is nothing evil about this.

Yes of course -- when it is working well enough to warrant a
release. Current svn is broken, at least on mips, which is all
I've had a chance to test recently.
