I would prefer not to. I would much prefer it that if _you_ have a
problem with how netdev operates, that _you_ talk directly _to_ the
netdev maintainers, rather than latching on to one of my emails and
replying to it. That is a reasonable request that _you_ appear to be
completely immune to comprehending, instead wishing to effectively
tell me that I'm wrong to request that - and start this idiotic
thread to debate it.
