Anca, Ted is not trolling me in any fashion. He is a (very 
successful) tool space and kernel developer and his opinion and 
experience about how tools should interact with the kernel project is 
of utmost importance.

Clearly Ted thinks that filesystem tools should stay separate from 
the kernel repo. I agree with him that the case for filesystem tool 
integration is weaker than for deeply kernel integrated tools such as 
perf or kvm and calling him a troll is not a way to settle that 
honest disagreement in any case.

Thanks,

	Ingo
