Come on, Jakub. The +1 was regarding Leon's entire response to Ed, not just the last part you so conveniently quoted here. I agree 100% wiht Leon that Ed's "Language, tone, and content of your email were inappropriate". That is why I left the entire quote in the response and not just the paragraph above.

And as for that response (the URL you listed there), what else should one conclude? That has to be a fair summation of your stance because this entire thread is on a driver completely unrelated to netdev that you jumped in on with a NACK. I have asked multiple times in this thread and the one before where you believe your boundary ends as a maintainer.

Again, entirely missing the point. This is not about configure knobs that have a potential to be consistent across devices.
Sadly, this thread is not a spiral, ever so slowly converging on an agreement, but a merry-ground just going in circles.
