This discussion is about improving performance of specific use cases
by moving the mbuf fields when needed.
We could consider how to configure it and how complicated it would be to
write applications or drivers (especially vector ones) for such a moving
structure.
But it is simpler to say that having an API depending of some options
is a "no-design" which could seriously slow down the DPDK adoption.
You can have a different opinion but I cannot imagine how strong must be the
arguments to make it happen.
