Sure !

Problem is linux kernel code is not your own project.

Some community rules must be respected.

You call this dogmatic, you are right, since this makes your life less
easy.

However, for hundred of people working to maintain/improve linux kernel
code, especially in network stacks, this ends in less stress, when a
problem must be located, and fixed.

Note : We are trying to help you, not fighting against you, in the long
term, its a win-win for everybody.
