Agreed. Readme has been updated with commentary on mainline and a link to this issue for anyone interested to comment.
For me when using rtw88_8822bu I found that, when attempting to connect to a network using saved credentials, it would ask for credentials and ask again if provided repeatedly. Installing rtl88x2bu has fixed this issue for me.

I recently migrated to Debian Trixie (which is still testing). Since then I have the drivers
rtw88_8822b
andrtw88_8822bu
available by the distribution. Therefore, I am no longer dog-footing the driver.I think, soon the repository will not be required any more. I think it is reasonable to continue maintenance until the release of Debian Trixie. After that, I consider to stop fixing compilation issues.
Are there any thoughts on this? Should a remark on this be added to the README, so others can prepare or ask for longer support?
