Huuray for Ben. As in: hip hip huuray.
I think linux+.1Q+netfilter are one of the most important
developments in the last decade for home appliances.
About every router uses .1Q, so Ben must be proud :-).

Well, I loved the low traffic, but it's insane to think we can
discuss .1Q without knowing or talking with netdev.

There is one thing however: the vlan user space package. I reckon
Patrick is going to maintain that. But as a package maintainer:
how do we reach Patrick for patches upstream?

My co-maintainer at debian set up a vlan repository at
alioth.debian.org to concert our efforts of packaging (he does
the stable line, and actually makes sure that it doesn't violate
debian policy, and I usually add new features to the package,
like a working mvconfig structure). If necessary Patrick can also
continue maintaining at alioth. I must admit that I still don't
have an alioth account, so it is an intent to maintain :-).

Anyway: Ben, thanx for making my live a lot more wonderful.
