I agree but...
At least Christian's patch is 100 times cleaner than what IBM
has proposed. People have been "talking" endlessly about providing
a clean version of the infrastructure necessary to support what
qeth needs for EUI64 generation, but everyone did nothing but
talk and suggest.
Christian backed up his "talk" with "code", and since his changes
aren't that unreasonable they go in :-)
