Sorry, you cannot force the discussion of a feature which will be submitted
upstream to occur on a private mailing list.

It is _ABSOLUTELY_ appropriate to discss this on netdev since it is the
netdev community which must consider issues like this when looking at
whether to accept WireGuard upstream.

Jason, this action and response was entirely inappropriate, and please
I'd like you to reply properly to questions about your feature here.

Thank you.
