I've publicly stated, in response to Al no less, that I don't see justification for making a team re-engineer a working, private interface because a disinterested third party finds it "weird".

Not that I was trying to "sneak it in", but that's neither here nor there, you Cc:ed Al for me, and we already had our discussion (unless Al wishes to come back and say more, he so far has allowed me to have the last word). --=20 Doug Ledford GPG KeyID: 0E572FDD --Eq1LjLe8tOQv7OQoG2FCi2Ae7c9NhTfdx Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: OpenPGP digital signature Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2 Comment: Using GnuPG with Thunderbird - http://www.enigmail.net/ iQIcBAEBCAAGBQJVvSmXAAoJELgmozMOVy/dgD0QAKLNWWgZI1pLRjxNe9LJwkOd wRCNq83wnAQ2gX+tT9YTY6F+Vf1eX9ICwoZ+H6EUUIgqVUenBNs7UfmpPR2qUV7h 55D1K6pmQkRvp7lJBSKNopaMf+d9s2TdfCF+pv4hCK+9OXCcdw1H5QCMntRHjwKC uKSkbuXqsXrex3QPWpzExCnMc9q4bdYdIK7pigDHf3aVmMgA89bu2RaxQAr3mvHY quxoxEIMCX+Mbb5XCuwKa9we5bJmJwRPwJw0nB4j/P9nsQBLBa3977pQWDtsY9S/ uiy3OuvDoekbeDMt9xDGJBfYlMgldchkWGVf33SCRkMxivipsap/Z9FmyWRPGRog 8PHgozxwTT+bb8gui08hfSSh3aaJBWxSKgtItmumh/xLLYbDFyB6ra6iLzCFsYpc sVAn37pbMKQdgkgzGA8pA/noI598QDLz72NzpnxxoJbZz4zmSx3nY84AmmepKd9q LOS9UV9szzTf2mI1opMv5Tn8LFpbYoZSLkKpkAXIbQ6MxTgT2Xm2tywDDZG3datt U7Q/DtLyzpxjuRKEFJYcXQBHGX/O4hdvkvdl+oocBJRGSqGonaaSM2yfQ5JioLqn xNZ33wpI4UiA7/VhIy5hAde226rsT/ZL+8jI0cVtdC2d8TFO17bDrfMkUsfzne9C tvySarHAYvQtIdV+CW1d =2OOV -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --Eq1LjLe8tOQv7OQoG2FCi2Ae7c9NhTfdx-- -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-rdma" in the body of a message to majordomo-u79uwXL29TY76Z2rM5mHXA@public.gmane.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
