How many vendor developers really do review other vendors drivers patches. It tends to be vendor neutral reviewers who do reviews across multiple vendors. I wish there was more cross vendor review, it would prevent having to repeat the same review comments again and again. There is probably also a lot of good ideas in some drivers which should be spread to other drivers. But if you don't look outside your silo, you are blind to them. However, i do agree, although netdev is not perfect, i think it is better than another list which will get even more ignored. Andrew
