it was an innocent very commonly used joke, what are you talking about ???
Anyway, I don't appreciate or respect your tune! if you want me to respect
your rules, you got to give some respect to your drivers maintainers !!
We have certain coding style in mlx5 and we gonna stick to it.. it's been
the case for the past 8 years, i am not going to suddenly turn the wheel
and just start obeying like a monkey.
And please watch your language, we do write concise code, your inability to
understand it is not my problem, and i don't expect you to understand it..
How the code looks like and how we interact with our HW is our problem, of
course suggestions and contributions are always welcome, but please be nice
about it.
mlx5 is the largest netdev driver and i got more than 20 active contributors
who are very happy with it. Please show some respect to those who worked
their asses off for years before you even knew what netdev is.
thank you!
