Yes. and I re-read it.
There are several things in Keith's email that make sense:
a. all RAS tools should use a common interface b. it's not the kernel's job to decide which RAS tool runs first
Eric makes some good points too. I'm mostly similar to Eric: paranoid about trusting software/hardware after a panic (or oops).
So if someone wants to use multiple RAS tools on a panic event, enabling an admin to set priorities is OK with me, but I'll only trust the first one that is used, and even that one may have problems. IOW, I don't see a big need to support multiple RAS tools at one time. (speaking for myself)

Ack that.
