No need to use irony. OK, so at this point it's basically a bunch of BPF core developers that is pushing back on these egress support series. The BPF project is moving on and making progress. Why don't you just keep convincing more users to adopt your solution? You can just provide incentives for them to adopt your software, make more benchmarks, more documentation and so on. That's all perfectly fine and you are making a great job on that field. But why you do not just let us move ahead? If you, the BPF team and your users, do not want to use Netfilter, that's perfectly fine. Why don't you let users choose what subsystem of choice that they like for packet filtering? I already made my own mistakes in the past when I pushed back for BPF work, that was wrong. It's time to make peace and take this to an end. Thank you.
