Subject: Re: [PATCH v2] [SCSI] scsi_dh: change scsi_dh_detach export to EXPORT_SYMBOL

Funny thing happens when you assume too much...
Anyway, your no compromises approach is admirable but it doesn't erase
the fact that all proprietary Linux drivers use EXPORT_SYMBOL code.
So what you're really saying is no proprietary drivers are allowed to be
loaded into a Linux kernel. Nice that you've made this scsi_dh_detach
change the frontline of a battle that has already been lost years ago.
Thanks for your time,
Mike
