I didn't go through all the trouble of creating an ABI infrastructure just to throw it out the window on some rubber stamp. We decided on the rules, we need to stick to them. We have large projects that rely on DPDK now (OVS primarily), and we owe it to them to not just go completely throw out the ABI every release. We have a process for doing it, lets follow it. Neil
