Oh, I missed this one, so you don't care about users?
Users often pay to distros for support, and distros always turn to vendors for debug situations, in fact one of the high stakeholders for this is an enterprise distro..
Also Jason and I are users, and more than 300 engineers at nvidia and dozens of customers are users, deploying 100s of thousands of ConnectX chips in their fleets.
if it weren't important for us and our users, I wouldn't even fight this hard.. but it is important, and very useful, I can't express that hard enough.
So you don't care ? Then don't ask about who the users are, in the other email, apparently it's all about your personal opinion and views about vendors what drives your responses. So it is really hard to debate with you..
