Thomas: this is likely because pe= ople don't distinguish between 'reviewed by' and 'acked'. Agreed that there= is still value in retaining the reviewed-by tag. o Stephen H: Need more active reviews in the community. Suggested that the = Maintainers could delegate to others on the mailing list. Maintainers - ple= ase take note. o Thomas M: Having a large number of v1's being applied may not be a good t= hing...would prefer to see higher number of patch revisions since it shows = community review process is working better. Reviews are the area which requ= ire the most improvement.=20 o Christian E: Packaging of DPDK - any community pushback to package someth= ing working almost everywhere but optimized where supported. No objections = - Christian will post to the mailing list next week. http://udrepper.livejo= urnal.com/20948.html=20 o Documentation gaps in (1) RTE table library, and (2) ACL need to be addre= ssed. Please discussion on the mailing list, submit patches, or ping John M= cNamara (documentation maintainer) o Mike G: Is the RFC process working? There is usually very little feedback= on RFC's. Thomas commented that RFC's are still useful, suggested using he= ader file (with Doxygen comments) as an RFC format.
