Hi Dan,

We are a little away to integration deadline, it is good to clarify the status
of the patchset.

There are a few change requests to this patchset:
1- 4/6, there is an open on adding command line option to control monitor/set
link status.
2- Dropping 6/6, I guess you already agreed on this.
3- 1/6, to have or not the log message.

I would like to see the patchset in the release, what do you think about above
actions?
