Hi Jason,
Sorry, I might have overstated it, but the vibes are quite clear.
Using the KNI in a real project, you will face a variety of issues
like:
- not so easy to provisioning
- random MACs
- packet reordering
- high latency
- kernel crashes
- etc
There are attempts to evolve/replace the KNI, for example:

But the KNI could also be replaced by a tap or a virtual function...
