Honestly, I don't see any issue in the current DPDK project execution. The concern was more towards the fact that multi-vendor infrastructure project like DPDK owned and controlled by the single company. We believe, Moving to LF will fix that issue/perception and it will enable more users to use/consume/invest DPDK in their products. Having said that, Does anyone see any issue in moving to LF? If yes, Then we should enumerate the issues and discuss further. Jerin
