I guess, we are not in a hurry... so let's just wait, until > after the merge window. (Back from vacation...) I've just closed the survey. The final results are very clear. Results: - Remove from MAINTAINERS file = 72.73% - Keep in MAINTAINERS file = 36.36% I'm going to send a kernel patch shortly... Thanks you all for participating in voting. It is important to me that we keep this XDP user community healthy and interactive. I will try to focus my info/mails to be more focused on how to getting started coding with XDP/eBPF. -- Best regards, Jesper Dangaard Brouer MSc.CS, Principal Kernel Engineer at Red Hat LinkedIn: http://www.linkedin.com/in/brouer
