Who works on what? Does he/she at least announce it on netdev?
(If you meant John, I already waited for his rcu stuffs in the last
merge window,
I assumed his works is almost done therefore sent this patchset.)

Since when it becomes a rule that we should yield to something not merged,
not even announced? If so, why not adding it to netdev-FAQ?
