Why are people constantly throwing up political arguments in this discussion ? To answer your question: as you noticed, I did not yet contribute any code to the SCST project. I'm an iSCSI/iSER/SRP user. I'd like to have a SCSI target framework available on Linux that is as fast as possible, as reliable as possible, as standards compliant as possible, well maintained and for which all kernel code is integrated in the mainstream Linux kernel. I'm probably sharing this desire with all STGT, IET, SCST and LIO users. Do you consider the opinion of SCSI target framework users irrelevant in this discussion ? Bart.
