Yeah, I agree they have been good. I'm just reacting to the off the
cuff comment of "my customers need it" which isn't a justification for
this feature, esp when it hasn't been shown to be needed in the
kernel.

We went through alot of this with tux the in-kernel httpd server, and
pushing other stuff out to user-space over the years. Why this needs
to come in isn't clear. Or why not just a small part needing to come
in with the rest in userspace.
