Why do keep saying I haven't? I have no intention of becoming involved in your project or nouveau. My only interest here is to get an agreement that we can get a VFIO driver (to improve the VFIO subsystem and community!) in the near term on top of in-tree nouveau. > > > But, we have to agree on a long term strategy and work towards the corresponding > > > goals *together*. > > > > I think we went over all the options already.

I don't want to debate with you about Nova.
