First of all, I would like to underline that never ever I would not like to hinder a cooperation here or anywhere else. If it looks like that then sorry. It was not my intention. Though at least until now I try to maintain this patch series and nothing will change (at least I do not have such plans) until it will be fully taken into Xen tree. I appreciate any feedback and in this case Doug's one. I am happy that more and more people testing it and find it useful. However, I think that it makes a confusion if we step on each other foot and everybody tries to post own version of a given patch series. I would not have any concerns if this project would be abandoned. However, this is not the case. Anyway, if maintainers and in particular Jan and/or Andrew will take decision to merge some or all Doug's patches I will not argue. And once again, I appreciate everybody feedback and in particular Doug's one. If I am missing something drop me a line.
