Re: [RFC PATCH v2 0/1] of: easier debugging for node life cycle issues

[Wolfram Sang]

Frank,

here seems to be a misunderstanding going on. I don't want to push this
patch upstream against all odds. I merely wanted to find out what the
status of this patch is. Because one possibility was that it had just
been forgotten...

From my perspective, I have done that:

I marked the patch as RFC. I put you on the CC list. I asked about the
possibility of applying it. It was not very elaborate, but hey, this is
just a simple debugging patch :)

I totally would have accepted a high level "No, that won't fly
because...". Or a high level "This and that would need a change". Or
something like that. I intentionally sent this out as RFC because I know
there is some testing missing. I wanted to know if it is worth taking
further steps with this patch.

So, I simply wanted to know if you (still) have fundamental issues with
the patch? That needs to be discussed first before we go into coding
details. I think it is fine to not apply it if there are reasons. I'd
like to know them, however, for a better understanding.

For me, this is a super-super-side project, so if it causes too much
hazzle, I just leave it here and know interested people can find it
easier now. But if it could be applied with a sane amount of effort, I
was offering that.

Was that understandable?

Kind regards,
