From my point of view (far outside the networking world and completely

people are looking for, but hey, it's an introductory email, and
Michel seems open to constructive feedback.

Thank you for the support, Bjorn.

I've brainstormed with friends questions that could address the concerns
that haven't been voiced in this thread, and I answered those questions in
our FAQ page:

While I would like to have Linux XIA merged, I also don't want to become
importunate. So, if nobody else shows interest in this thread, I'm going to
leave it to rest.

But you have yet to actually post the code, why give up now, you haven't
even tried. A number of people have given you hints here as to what you
should be doing / trying, to just run away without even attempting it
seems quite odd and defeatist.

Hi Greg,

After reading your e-mail, I realized that I hadn't really understood the feedback that I've received. I'm going to follow your advice. Figuring out how to break our codebase in series of patches is going to take sometime, but I intend to get it moving.
