I can see that. TBH, this was just my last line of defense to not being
insulting, because I was seriously grumpy about this whole thing and
even more so when I discovered that it was just hastily cobbled together
and then sold as the panacea for solving driver teardown issues.

You surely can do better and you very well know how kernel development
works.

I'm sorry if I offended you. I might have to adjust my expectations.

Thanks,
