Subject: Re: [PATCH] virtio_blk: Add support for lifetime feature

A note to the virtio committee:  eMMC is the worst of all the currently
active storage standards by a large margin.  It defines very strange
ad-hoc interfaces that expose very specific internals and often provides
very poor abstractions.  It would be great it you could reach out to the
wider storage community before taking bad ideas from the eMMC standard
and putting it into virtio.
