Is there any word on whether (and if so, when) the tarpit target will be incorporated into Red Hat's kernel?

Is it upstream in any kernel?
It's only a matter of time until it appears in a stock distro. User-side support is built-in with the "official" iptables-1.2.8 release, including the Severn/Taroon beta RPMs, but a patch-and-compile is necessary on the kernel side. Despite the tiny size and scope of the patch, I am reluctant to stray from the stock kernels (up2date, client machines, etc.), and I suspect (and hope) that many others would like to see the tarpit target folded into the stock RH kernel.

Alternatively, perhaps it could be added to the kernel-unsupported package? That would give it a chance for mass distribution while saying UNSUPPORTED in a big way.
Should we file a Bugzilla RFE?
