I assume you're planning to export this to userspace at some point?
What's the real advantage besides that when listing avaiable
operations we can output names instead of numbers? Userspace should
be aware of operation numbers when using it. I'm all for this if
the direction is to move towards having some form of scriptable
genetlink tool which can be used to communicate with simple genetlink
families.
I guess the desire was the highest because you sold it as such :-)
