Sorry. It was on IRC.

I don't think that's the plan. But apparently the current interface
doesn't allow userspace to exactly map the sent packet to the tx status
it gets in the monitor interface (when the sent packet shows up there).
I'm a bit worried that it would need such an exact mapping especially
when others may be injecting frames at the same time, but I suppose that
can be solved when we get to it.
