Hi Jiri,

I think there is a value in making the user-space code available in
parallel with the kernel changes to allow testing and so by any interested
parties.

If this is not acceptable I'm happy to stop doing so. But in my ideal world
I'd be very happy to see other TC kernel updates accompanied by
implementations their user-space tool counterparts.
