Of course you did not answer any of the other legitimate questions
Peter brought up.

Care to answer them w/o pointing to magic json files which lack ANY
useful information about the magic bits they provide? And why they are
not consistent with the SDM?

Either you come forth with reasonable explanations or I'm going to rip
out the mess you created even before Peter can persuade himself to do
so.

Thanks,

tglx
