What is "the application"?
Given all our discussions at the summit and my thinking on all of this
recently, I'm _very_ tempted to just reject this patchset after all, and
ask you to (help) implement appropriate eBPF hooks in the stack that can
be used to implement it instead.
Why is this better than programmable infrastructure for it?
