No, i'm just trying to point out to you that it's already a fact that the tool already lives in a kernel tree and was developed there to the tune of 700+ commits within a few short months. IMO you should not be arguing: 'You should do X because that's my preference.' IMO you should be arguing: 'You should do X because technical advantage Y which is important to the project.' We have listed numerous technical advantages of why we have chosen tools/kvm/ - and you have not countered that with any convincing technical disadvantage so far. Thanks, Ingo
