    Thank you Greg for your time and most valuable input.
    I'm sorry for not understanding your position. I needed the
    clear cut statement:

    This code should not be using kobjects. i.e not belong in sysfs

    SCST guys. This sounds pretty clear cut to me. Sysfs was not built
    in mind for such dynamic systems, and it will cause never ending
    conflicts with future maintenance of sysfs vs SCST.

    Perhaps consider a new alternative like the device tree as Greg suggested
    or maybe finally accept the harsh realities of ConfigFS, and come join us
    in the LIO project. SCST is a most valuable project and community which
    we would like to join forces with in making Linux the best.

    Lets call it Linux-Target and unify all our efforts.

    Boaz
