Re: [PATCH 0/1] block io layer filters api

Jens, thank you so much for your prompt response and clarification on your
position.

We’re totally committed to having the upstream driver as the canonical version,
and to maintaining it. 

It was probably a mistake not to build it like that right away considering it
has always been our vision, but frankly speaking we were simply too shy to go
this route when we first started 4 years ago, with just a handful of users and
an unclear demand/future. But now in 2020, it’s a different story.

We’ll get started on the in-tree kernel mode right away, and will reconvene
once ready.
