So I just suggest you scan the comments for suggestions and just add them all. Will be much faster than all these mega threads. One of the reasons this discussion keeps getting stuck is that whatever is not in your proposal you immediately start asking for proof it's actually needed or dismissing as not necessary. Spec design is fundamentally a speculative edeavor we are trying to predict what will make a good implementation. So what we do it think up theoretical use-cases, and try to see design can address them, and if it can then hopefully the completely unexpected that will actually be needed in real life will be possible. -- MST This publicly archived list offers a means to provide input to the OASIS Virtual I/O Device (VIRTIO) TC.
