   That's hardly the only development model.
   
It's the one that works for _me_ and Alexey and myself, and we're the
ones doing all the work.

When someone doing the work desires the docs and desires to
WRITE it, it will appear.
   
You can expect exactly nothing more in our development model.
If you require me to write the docs, you misunderstand how the
system works :)

   You clipped out the text where I pointed out that bugs can
   be in specs as well as code.  They can be fixed there, too.
   
Very true.  So when Randy writes the more detailed netlink/rtnetlink
docs, we'll be happy :-)
   
There is even an official IETF RFC written by Jamal, Alexey, and
others documenting netlink btw :-))))))))))))

Did anybody notice this?
