Maybe that these words leave a biased taint, as you say. The goal is to show that DPDK ecosystem can offer some services and support if needed. It's an important information when choosing to use a software. We can try to reword it as you suggest. > It is not like kernel.org has links to SUSE and RHEL. We need to make DPDK.org > independent. Linux is very well known and its ecosystem is really huge. I hope that one day, everybody will be confident enough to not hesitate choosing DPDK. We made huge progress for 2 years by opening the development process but I feel it's too early to be compared with kernel.org ;) Thank you for your report, we'll try to fix it at best. -- Thomas
