Subject: Re: [PATCH] man: fix lnstat unresolved_discards description

Hi all,
Could this be submitted or am i missing something?
lnstat's unresolved_discards field description looks unclear, as for me.
And from the code it looks like it's a counter of dropped packets,
not table entries, unless i'm not mistaken.
