But will you grow dependent on ANA in the future? If so then you're out of luck given the way the NVMe driver's ANA support was maliciously added without care for making it work without the NVMe driver's native multipath support. Seems very few people care about making NVMe multipath _not_ so tightly coupled to native NVMe multipath. And sadly I don't have time to work on untangling the "all-in" nature of NVMe ANA and native NVMe multipath. Put differently: until Jens stops taking hch's pull requests despite concerns being raised against hch's approach (that hch completely ignores because he rules with an iron fist from the top of a mountain in the Alps) we're pretty much screwed.
