Longer term there are pros and cons to keeping the vhost library. Personall= y I think it would make sense to remove sometime as trying to maintain two AP= I's has a cost, but I think adding a deprecation notice in DPDK 2.2 for removal= in DPDK 2.3 is very premature. Until it's proven *in the field* that the vhost= PMD is a suitable fully functioning replacement for the vhost library and users have time to migrate, then please don't remove. >=20 > Regards, > Testuya
