Ok, if my first proposal was crap, it is crap still. After the driver was completed _most_ of the stuff had to be done according to the old proposal, because the delivery system does indeed need them (not just useless params) You were asleep throughout the discussion. For Marcel's request you said it was okay too. After that you had a dream or something like that and even apologized for your last minute barging in, also that you didn't understand about DVB-S2. It wasn't anyone else's fault that you NACK'd it after asking Mauro to pull, but yours alone. You could have done it earlier too.. or just kept quiet. Was a waste of time for so many people involved. > I also think the whole approach of "we need to merge this API change > *now* so we can develop DVB-S2 drivers" was flawed.

Even after the driver was developed, it was still flawed, Huh ? > And if there was a "please review" or "Mauro, please merge" mail > regarding multiproto recently, I must have missed it. Sorry. You said you didn't have the time after everything was done, inspite of many mails sent to you. If someone NACK's something for a reason and when those things are fixed, the same person could at least show a bit of courtesy by stating the same problems are/were fixed.
