Actually I don't quite understand this statement (sorry! English is not
my native language) but it is ok. People are entitled for different
opinions and I respect yours.  

On the technical side, just a pre-cautious, in case we need to touch
some kernel export symbols so it would be nice to have external (and
admin) interfaces decided before we start to code. 

So I'll not talk about this and I assume we can keep focusing on NLM
issues. No more noises from each other. Fair ?
