Allan, I don't think you're being reasonable at all.
You tell Neil he's breaking things, and that his code isn't following
the current spec.
Neil asks where the spec is.
And you tell him your out-of-tree code is the spec.
That's absolutely rediculious. It is totally unreasonable to require
Neil to unravel the mess that is the out-of-tree TIPC implementation
in order to figure out what the current protocol "spec" is.
You're doing a lot of "oh crap, don't do this, you'll break this or
that." But frankly, you really don't care what's in the upstream
kernel. If you did, your stuff wouldn't be out of tree.
Therefore I take every piece of feedback you give to Neil's
patches with a grain of salt, at best.
