Hello Dongsheng,

The commonization effort we're working on is prioritizing our newest drivers.  The i40e work is still being scoped, so we should fix this problem as needed now and not wait.

I apologize for any miscommunication.  Was trying to let people know that we aware of the issue and are trying to make progress in that direction.

Thanks,

Carolyn
