UAPI is the main interface for contribution to outside, that is our main goal, and has the highest priority. After new contents are added into UAPI, it is very hard to remove them again: it is protocol, can only be complement, but can not be changed (or will be a 'cheat'). > I would like to keep the status even if the configure should not be used. > However, if guys think it is dirty, maybe we can remove or comment them first. > So, for me, if we find the new contents in UAPI may have negative effect to outside, we need stop it firstly (at least, not let it merged into main line). If no any additional reply for it within this week, I shall send patch v3 for it (simply remove them).
