I agree but... At least Christian's patch is 100 times cleaner than what IBM has proposed. People have been "talking" endlessly about providing a clean version of the infrastructure necessary to support what qeth needs for EUI64 generation, but everyone did nothing but talk and suggest. Christian backed up his "talk" with "code", and since his changes aren't that unreasonable they go in :-) |
