Hi Alan, In the RFC thread "of: Add whitelist", I did not understand the use case and asked you some questions (30 Nov 2017 07:46:36 -0500), that you seem to have overlooked (or my mail server failed to deliver your answer to me). Can you please answer that question so I can better understand this patch set is needed for.
