Hi Eugene,

Let's keep the discussion in linux-wireless so that everyone can participate.

I would like to be a bit extreme here. Even if you feel that some
feature isn't useful for the community I still recommend sending a small
RFC patch and see what kind of feedback you get. It doesn't take much of
your time and you never know what's the feedback until you send it, with
luck people might be actually interested about your feature! And most of
the time people send suggestions how to do it better.

Just keep the patches small, don't send any patch bombs and one feature
per patch. RFC patches don't need to be perfect as they are just to, as
the name implies, Request For Comments :)
