Correct.
Other thing is you probably not seeing the latest code as well. Yi is
not publish new code before John is merging what we've already sent
out. I also have something still in the drawer.
This quite bad position still have to fix bugs on old MQ because the
new one cannot be ported at all to old kernels and already face the
breakage in the new one.
I'm starting to be frustrated about this development model it looks
like there is no single stable point of this code base.
