So, why do you expect it is perfect?

It is extremely normal that a new feature is not perfect initially, and
takes more time to make it perfect. If you need a real example, netlink
mmap is exactly one, the initial version merged into net-next even
doesn't compile for some case.

And, why do you want to rely on me to fix them all?

I am *not* at all an expert on IPv6. If this patchset could be merged
early, many other IPv6 expert can help me to fix the rest issues.
